1 For all your saints, O Lord,
who strove in you to live,
who followed you, obeyed, adored,
our grateful hymn receive.
2 For all your saints, O Lord,
who strove in you to die,
who counted you their great reward,
accept our thankful cry.
3 They all in life and death,
with you, their Lord, in view,
learned from your Holy Spirit's breath
to suffer and to do.
4 For this, your name we bless
and humbly pray anew
that we like them in holiness
may live and die in you.
5 To God, the Father, Son,
and Spirit, ever blest,
the One in Three, the Three in One,
be endless praise addressed.
