Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia!
2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in their well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Alleluia!
3 O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold!
Alleluia!
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.
Alleluia!
5 The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest.
Alleluia!
6 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of Glory passes on His way.
Alleluia!
7 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:
Alleluia!
Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Used With Tune: PRO OMNIBUS SANCTIS
