Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

— Fight as the Saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor’s crown of gold. [Chorus]
3. Thou art our rock, our fortress, and our might;
Thou, Lord, our captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, our one true light. [Chorus]
4. 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. [Chorus]
5. From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
— Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. [Chorus] Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Used With Tune: [For all the Saints who from their labors rest]
