We praise thee, Lord,
for all the martyred throng,
Those who by fire and sword
or suffering long
Laid down their lives,
but would not yield to wrong:
Alleluia!
For those who fought
to keep the faith secure,
For all whose hearts
were selfless, strong and pure,
For those whose courage
taught us to endure:
Alleluia!
For fiery spirits,
held and God-controlled,
For gentle natures by
his power made bold,
For all whose gracious lives
God's love retold.
Alleluia!
Thanks be to thee, O Lord,
for saints unknown,
Who by obedience
to thy word have shown
That thou didst call
and mark them for thine own.
Alleluia!
