Poem Words (five verses)

For all your saints, O Lord,
who strove in you to live,
who followed you, obeyed, adored,
our grateful hymn receive.

For all your saints, O Lord,
who strove in you to die,
who counted you their great reward,
accept our thankful cry.

They all in life and death,
with you, their Lord, in view,
learned from your Holy Spirit's breath
to suffer and to do.

For this, your name we bless
and humbly pray anew
that we like them in holiness
may live and die in you.

To God, the Father, Son,
and Spirit, ever blest,
the One in Three, the Three in One,
be endless praise addressed.
