Hallelujah, hallelujah! 3 So may your servants, faithful, true, and bold, fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine, all yours, all joined in unity divine. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest, the peaceful calm of paradise the blest. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 7 But see, there breaks a yet more glorious day; the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory calls passes on his way. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 8 From earth's wide bounds and ocean's farthest shore, through heaven's gate the holy people pour; the Three-in-One for ever they adore. Hallelujah, hallelujah!
