Hymn EMHB 832 For all the saints

EMHB 832 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! 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! 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! 4. O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle; they in glory shine, Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia! 5. 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. Alleluia!
