284. 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.

2 For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Who strove in Thee to die.
Who counted Thee their great reward,
Accept our thankful cry.

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:

5 With them the Father, Son,
And Holy Ghost to praise,
As in the ancient days was done,
And shall through endless days.
