390. For All the Saints

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

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

3 Oh, blessed communion, fellowship divine,
we feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one within your great design.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
