| For thy dear saints, O Lord, Who strove in thee to live, Who followed thee, obeyed, adored, Our grateful hymn receive. | | For thy dear saints, O Lord, Who strove in thee to die, Who counted thee their great reward, Accept our thankful cry. | | 269 Thine earthly members fit To join thy saints above, In one communion ever knit, One fellowship of love. | | Jesus, thy Name we bless And humbly pray that we May follow them in holiness Who lived and died for thee. | |
