The Hymnal ‎#293a

293a. For Thy dear saints, O Lord

For thy dear saints, O Lord,
Who strove in thee to live,
Who followed thee, obeyed, adored,
Our grateful hymn receive.

For thy dear saints, O Lord,
Who strove in thee to die,
Who counted thee their great reward,
Accept our thankful cry.

Thine earthly members fit
To join thy saints above,
In one communion ever knit,
One fellowship of love.

Jesus, thy Name we bless
And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness
Who lived and died for thee.

Amen.
