141. 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. A-men.

2 For all thy saints, O Lord,
Accept our thankful cry;
Who counted thee their great reward,
And strove in thee to die.

3 They all, in life or death,
With thee, their Lord, in view,
Learned from thy Holy Spirit's breath
To suffer and to do.

4 For this, thy Name we bless,
And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness,
And live and die in thee.

Amen.
