fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.

we feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.

steals on the ear the distant triumph-song,
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia! alleluia!

soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.
Alleluia! alleluia!

the saints triumphant rise in bright array:
the King of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia, alleluia.

through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
