"For all the Saints who from their labours rest
Who thee by faith before the world confest
Thy name Lord Jesus be forever blest alleluia alleluia
O blest Communion ,fellowship Divine
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine
Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine alleluia alleluia
But lo their breaks a yet more glorious day
The Saints triumphant ride in bright array
The King of Glory passes on his way alleluia alleluia
From earth's wide bounds, to oceans farthest coasts
Through gates of pearl, stream in the countless hosts
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost alleluia alleluia
