who thee by faith before
the world confessed,
thy name, O Jesus,
be forever blest.
Alleluia, alleluia.
[Sing to the Lord 423]

Thou wast their rock,
their fortress and their might;
thou, Lord, their captain
in the well-fought fight;
thou, in the darkness drear,
their one true light.
Alleluia, alleluia.
3.
O may thy soldiers,
faithful, true and bold,
fight as the saints who
nobly fought of old,
and win with them
the victor’s crown of gold.
Alleluia, alleluia.
4.
O blest communion,
fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle,
they in glory shine;
yet all are one in thee,
for all are thine.
Alleluia, alleluia!
5.
And when the fight
is fierce, the warfare long,
steals on the ear the
distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again,
and arms are strong.
Alleluia, alleluia!
6.
But lo! there breaks
a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant
rise in bright array;
the King of glory
passes on his way.
Alleluia, alleluia!
7.
From earth’s wide bounds,
from ocean’s farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams
in the countless host;
they sing to Father,
Son and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sing to the Lord 423
