Text: | For All Thy Saints, O Lord |
Author: | Richard Mant |
Tune: | FERGUSON |
Composer: | George Kingsley |
1 For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Who strove in Thee to live,
Who followed Thee, obeyed, adored,
Our grateful hymns receive.
2 For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Accept our thankful cry;
Who counted Thee their great Reward,
And strove in Thee to die.
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.
Amen.
