For all the saints, who from their labours rest
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Thou wast their Rock, their fortress, and their might
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight
Thou in the darkness drear their one true light
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old
And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The golden evening brightens in the west
Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day
The saints triumphant rise in bright array
The King of glory passes on His way
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host
Singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
