For All Thy Saints (Mant)

lyricist: Richard Mant, 1837
Composer: Henry Gauntlett, 1848

For all Thy saints

O Lord

Who strove in Thee to live

Who fol­lowed Thee

ob­eyed

ad­ored

Our grate­ful hymn re­ceive.

For all Thy saints

O Lord

Accept our thank­ful cry

Who count­ed Thee their great re­ward

And strove in Thee to die.

They all in life and death

With Thee

their Lord

in view

Learned from Thy Ho­ly Spir­it’s breath

To suf­fer and to do.

Thine mys­tic mem­bers

fit

To join Thy saints above

In one un­mixed com­mun­ion knit

And fel­low­ship of love.

For this Thy name we bless

And hum­bly beg that we

May fol­low them in ho­li­ness

And live and die in Thee.

With them the Fa­ther

Son

And Ho­ly Ghost to praise

As in the an­cient days was done

And shall through end­less days.
