Original text and translations
English text 1. For all the saints who from their labours rest, |
5. And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong: Alleluia! Alleluia! 6. The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; Sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed: Alleluia! Alleluia! 7. But lo there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array: The King of Glory passes on his way: Alleluia! Alleluia! 8. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen. |
