For all the saints
William Walsham How, 1864. To be sung to Sine Nomine.
1
For all the saints who from their labours rest, Who thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy name, O Jesus, be for ever blest: Alleluia, alleluia!
2
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, alleluia!
3
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, alleluia!
4
O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine: Alleluia, alleluia!
