To all believing ears!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
And drives away our fears.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled mind;
His manna for each hungry soul,
The lost and weary find.
3 Blest Name! the rock on which we build,
Our shield and resting place,
Our never-failing comfort, filled
With blessing of his grace.
4 O Jesus, Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
Our Prophet, Priest and King,
Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
Accept the praise we bring.
Scripture: Acts 2:12 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

all who by faith before the world confessed,
your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

2 You were their rock, their fortress, and their might:
you were their captain in the well-fought fight;
you, in the darkness drear, the one true light.

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one within your great design.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
4 The golden evening brightens in the west,
soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
5 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day
the saints triumphant rise in bright array:
as God to glory calls them all away.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
6 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:
Hallelujah, hallelujah! Used With Tune: SINE NOMINE
For All the Saints
