Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #165 (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 For all Thy saints, a noble throng,
Who felt by fire and sword,
Who soon were called, or waited long,
We praise Thy Name, O Lord.
2 For him who left his father's side,
Nor lingered by the shore,
When, softer than the weltering tide,
Thy summons glided o'er;
3 Who stood beside the maiden dead,
Who climbed the mount with Thee,
And saw the glory round Thy Head,
One of Thy chosen three;
4 Who knelt beneath the olive shade,
Who drank Thy cup of pain,
And passed from Herod's flashing blade
To see Thy face again.
5 Lord, give us grace, and give us love,
Like him to leave behind
Earth's cares and joys, and look above
With true and earnest mind.
6 So shall we learn to drink Thy cup,
So meek and firm be found,
When Thou shalt come to take us up
Where Thine elect are crowned.
Amen.
