For All the Saints We Celebrate Today

1. For all the saints, who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy name, O Jesus, be forever 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!

5. 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! Alleluia!

6. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Thru gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: Alleluia! Alleluia!
