Lyrics
Verse 1
For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed.
Verse 2

Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Verse 3

And win with them the victor's crown of gold.
Verse 8

And hearts are brave, again, and arms are strong.
Verse 9
The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed.
Verse 10
But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints’ triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of glory passes on His way.
Verse 11
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
And singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost,...
