For All The Saints Lyrics

By William Walsham How & Christopher Miner

For all the saints, 

who from their labors rest, 

Who Thee by faith 

before the world confessed, 

Thy Name, O Jesus, 

be forever blessed. 

Alleluia, Allelu...



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. 

Alleluia, Allelu...



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. 

Alleluia, Allelu... 



The golden evening 

brightens in the west; 

Soon, soon to faithful 

warriors comes their rest; 

Sweet is the calm 

of paradise the blessed. 

Alleluia, Allelu...



But lo! There breaks 

a yet more glorious day; 

The saints triumphant 

rise in bright array; 

The King of glory 

passes on his way, 

Alleluia, Allelu... 



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, 

Alleluia, Alleluia!
