For all the saints who from their labors rest

Thou Lord their captain in the well fought fight
Thou in the darkness drear their one true Light

Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old

And hearts are brave again and arms are strong

Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host
And singing to Father Son and Holy Ghost
