By all your saints still striving, For all your saints at rest, Your holy name, O Jesus, Forevermore be blessed! For those passed on before us, We sing our praise anew And, walking in their footsteps, Would live our lives for you. | We pray for saints we know not, For saints still yet to be, For grace to bear true witness And serve you faithfully, Till all the ransomed number Who stand before the throne Ascribe all power and glory And praise to God alone. |
Praise for the light from heaven, Praise for the voice of awe; Praise for the radiant glory The persecutor saw. And, God, for his conversion We magnify your Name; So change our misconceptions With your true Spirit's ray... |
"O’er all those wide extended plains / Shines one eternal day;
"There God the Son forever reigns / And scatters night away."
