For all Thy saints, O Lord,

Who strove in Thee to live,

Who follow'd Thee, obey'd, ador'd,

Our grateful hymn receive.

For all Thy saints, O Lord,

Accept our thankful cry,

Who counted Thee, their great reward,

And strove in Thee to die.

They all, in life and death;

With Thee, their Lord in view,

Learn'd from Thy Holy Spirit's breath

To suffer and to do.

For this Thy name we bless,

And humbly pray that we

May follow them in holiness,

And live and die in Thee.

Fountain of Good! to own Thy love

Our thankful hearts incline;

What can we render, Lord to Thee?

When all the worlds are Thine?

But Thou hast needy brethren here,

Partakers of Thy grace;

Whose humble names Thou wilt confess

Before Thy Father's face.

In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed,

And visited and cheer'd;
