2 For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Accept our thankful cry,
Who counted Thee their great reward,
And strove in Thee to die.
Accept our thankful cry,
Who counted Thee their great reward,
And strove in Thee to die.
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.

And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness,
And live and die in Thee.
And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness,
And live and die in Thee.
