1) For all the saints who from their labors rest, who to the world their steadfast faith confessed,
your name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Alleluia! Alleluia!

2) You were their rock, their refuge, and their might: you, Christ, the hope that put their fears to flight;
'mid gloom and doubt, you were their one true light. Alleluia! Alleluia!

3) Still may your people, faithful, true, and bold, live as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and share with them a glorious crown of gold. Alleluia! Alleluia!

4) Ringed by this cloud of witnesses divine, we feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet in your love our faithful lives entwine. Alleluia! Alleluia!

5) And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
then hearts are brave again, and faith grows strong. Alleluia! Alleluia!
