Lutheran Hymn Project - For All the Saints

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!

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!

Oh, blest communion, fellowship divine
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine
Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine
Alleluia! Alleluia!

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! Alleluia!

The golden evening brightens in the west
Soon, soon to faithful servants cometh rest
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest
Alleluia! Alleluia!

But then there breaks a yet more glorious day
The saints triumphant rise in bright array
The King of glory passes on his way
Alleluia! Alleluia!

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!
