Hymn: "For All the Saints". GREAT hymn!

I'm loving all the old hymns! It's a trip down memory lane for me as my church has made the transition to contemporary music. I like the new music, too, but the hymns just hold a special place in my heart.

For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

For the Apostles’ glorious company,
Who bearing forth the Cross o’er land and sea,
Shook all the mighty world, we sing to Thee:
Alleluia, Alleluia!

For the Evangelists, by whose blest word,
Like fourfold streams, the garden of the Lord,
Is fair and fruitful, be Thy Name adored.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

There are quite a few verses. All of them are here: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/f/a/fallthes.htm

New music can be good as well. But I love the traditional Catholic and now I see Episcopalian hymns. It's the same I think! Cool!
