CPWI Hymnal ‎#825b

825b. For all thy saints, O Lord

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 full reward,
accept our thankful cry.

3 O Lord, thy name we bless,
and humbly pray that we
may follow them in holiness
who lives and died in thee.

4 Thine earthly members fit
to join thy saints above,
in one communion ever knit,
one fellowship of love.

5 All praise to thee, O Lord,
the Father and the Son
and Holy Spirit, God adored
while endless ages run.
