Alleluia! 2 You were their rock, their fortress, and their might; Jesus, their cCaptain in the well-fought fight; You in the darkness drear, their one true Light. [Refrain] 3 O may your soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, And win with them the victor's crown of gold. [Refrain] 4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one within your great design. [Refrain] 5 And when the fight is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. [Refrain] 6 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, [Refrain] Amen.

Grace, which, like the Lord the giver, Never fails; he does supply. 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which he gives them when they pray.
