Christ in Song 285

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Studio

1For all the saints who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy Name,
O Jesus, before ever blest.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

2Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might;
Thou,
Lord, their Captain, in the wellfought fight;
Thou, in the darkness their true guiding Light.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

3O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

4And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ears the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
