331. For All the Saints

1 For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
all who by faith before the world confessed,
your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 May we your saints, your servants true and bold,
serve as the saints who nobly lived of old,
the world to bless and with your love enfold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

3 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one within your grand design.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
from age to age resounds the countless host,
in praise to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
