215. 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,
and found in thee a full reward,
accept our thankful cry.

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

4 Jesu, thy name we bless,
and humbly pray that we
may follow them in holiness,
who lived and died for thee.

5 All might, all praise, be thine,
Father, co-equal Son,
and Spirit, bond of love divine,
while endless ages run.
