HYMN 27.

For all Thy saints, O Lord,
Who strove in Thee to live,
Who follow'd Thee, obey'd, ador'd,
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,
Learn'd from Thy Holy Spirit's breath
To suffer and to do.

For this Thy name we bless,
And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness,
And live and die in Thee.
