For all thy saints, O Lord
|
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, Who strove in thee to die, And found in thee a full reward, Accept our thankful cry. Thine earthly members fit To join thy saints above, In one communion ever knit, One fellowship of love. Jesu, thy name we bless, And humbly pray that we May follow them in holiness, Who lived and died for thee. All might, all praise, be thine, Father, co-equal Son, And Spirit, bond of love divine, While endless ages run. |
Pro sanctis, O Deus, conatis vivere in te, tui cultoribus, has grates accipe. Pro sanctis, Domine, qui magno te suas mutarunt vitas munere, grates accipias. Iungendos redde nos eis qui sunt supra unoque vinclo socios amoris colliga. Beatus qui clues, oramus ut tibi eorum simus similes vivi seu mortui. Ut Patri, Filio laus et potentia iunctore cum Paraclito esto perpetua. |
