By all your saints in warfare,
For all your saints at rest,
Your holy name, O Jesus,
Forevermore be blest!
For you have won the battle
That they might wear the crown;
And now they shine in glory
Reflected from your throne.
For all your saints at rest,
Your holy name, O Jesus,
Forevermore be blest!
For you have won the battle
That they might wear the crown;
And now they shine in glory
Reflected from your throne.

Then let us praise the Father
And worship God the Son
And sing to God the Spirit,
Eternal Three in One.
Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the throne,
Ascribing pow'r and glory
And praise to God alone.

And sing to God the Spirit,

Ascribing pow'r and glory
And praise to God alone.

For him, O Lord, we praise you,
Whose fainting heart, made strong,
Poured forth the faithful Gospel
To animate our song.
May we, in all our weakness,
Receive your pow'r divine,
And all, as faithful branches,
Grow strong in you, the vine.

To animate our song.

Receive your pow'r divine,
And all, as faithful branches,
Grow strong in you, the vine.

We praise your name for Philip,
Blest guide to Greek and Jew,
And for young James, the faithful
Who heard and followed you.
Oh, grant us grace to know you,
The way, the truth, the life,
And wrestle with temptation
Till victors in the strife.

We praise you for the Baptist,
forerunner of the Word,
Our true Elijah, making
A highway for the Lord.
The last and greatest prophet,
He saw the dawning ray
Of light that grows in splendor
Until the perfect day.

For him, O Lord, we praise you,
Who fell to Herod's sword.
He drank your cup of suff'ring
And thus fulfilled your word.
Lord, curb our vain impatience
For glory and for gain,
And nerve us for such suff'rings
As glorify your name.

All praise for him whose candor
Through all his doubt you saw
When Philip at the fig tree
Disclosed you in the law.
Discern, beneath our surface,
O Lord, what we can be,
That by your truth made guileless,
Your glory we may see.

Praise, Lord, for him whose Gospel
Your human life declared,
Who, worldly gain forsaking,
Your path of suff'ring shared.

Oh, raise our eyes anew,
That we, whate'er our station,
May rise and follow you.

For that beloved physician
All praise, whose Gospel shows
The healer of the nations,
The one who shares our woes.
Your wine and oil, O Savior,
Upon our spirits pour,
And with true balm of Gilead
Anoint us evermore.

Praise, Lord, for your apostles
Who sealed their faith today;
One love, one hope impelled them
To tread the sacred way.
May we with zeal as earnest
The faith of Christ maintain,
And foll'wing these our brothers,
At length your rest attain.
Who sealed their faith today;
