	1. For all Thy saints, O Lord,
	Who strove in Thee to live,
	Who followed Thee, obeyed, adored,
	Our grateful hymn receive.
	
	2. For all Thy saints, O Lord,
	Who strove in Thee to die,
	Who counted Thee their great Reward,
	Accept our thankful cry.
	
	3.They all in life and death,
	With Thee, their Lord, in view,
	Learned from Thy Holy Spirit's breath
	To suffer and to do.
	
	4. For this Thy name we bless
	And humbly pray that we
	May follow them in holiness
	And live and die in Thee.
