Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Hebrews 11:29-40, 12:1-2 First Line: How blessed are all the saints, our God Lyrics: 1 How blessed are all the saints, our God,
who having crossed the troubled sea,
have gained the harbour of your peace
and rest in your tranquillity.
2 Watch over us who voyage still,
with risk and danger yet to face;
remember all beset by storms
and hold them in your steadfast grace.
3 Our vessel's frail, the ocean wide,
but your love steers, and we aspire
to gain the peaceful shore at last,
the haven of our heart's desire.
4 Then we shall praise you endlessly,
great God, to whom all praise is due;
as you have made us for yourself,
our hearts must find their rest in you. Topics: The Saints Used With Tune: SONG 34
