Text: | For all Thy saints, O Lord |
Author: | Richard Mant |
Tune: | ST. HELENA |
1 For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Who strove in Thee to live,
Who followed Thee, obeyed, adored,
Our grateful hymn receive.
2 For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Who strove in Thee to die.
Who counted Thee their great reward,
Accept our thankful cry.
3 They all, in life or death,
With Thee, their Lord, in view,
Learned from Thy Holy Spirit's breath
To suffer and to do.
4 For this, Thy Name we bless
And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness
And live and die in Thee:
5 With them the Father, Son,
And Holy Ghost to praise,
As in the ancient days was done,
And shall through endless days.
