| Text: | For all the saints, who from their labors rest |
| Author: | The Rt. Rev. William Walsham How, D. D., Bp. of Bedford |
| Tune: | SARUM |
| Composer: | Joseph Barnby (1838-) |
For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O God, shall be forever blessed.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might;
Their Strength and Shield in all the well-fought fight
Thou, in the darkness, still the Light of light.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Oh 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.
And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song,
And hearts are brave, and arms again are strong.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
O blest Communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
