Hymn 847 – THE saints of God! their conflict past | C&S English Hymnary

1. THE saints of God! their conflict past And life’s long battle won at last No more they need the shield or sword They cast them down before their Lord O happy saints! for ever blest At Jesus feet how safe their rest! 2. The saints of God! their wand’rings done No more their weary course they run No more they faint, no more they fall No foes oppress, no fear appeal O happy saints! for ever blest In that dear home, how sweet their rest? 3. The saints of God! life's voyage o'er Safe landed on that blissful shore No stormy tempests now they dread No roaring billows lift their head O happy saints! for ever blest In that calm haven of their rest. 4. The saints of God their vigil keep While yet their mortal bodies sleep Till from the dust they too shall rise And soar triumphant to the skies O happy saints! rejoice and sing He quickly comes, our Lord and King. 5. O God of saints, to Thee we cry O Saviour, plead for us on high O Holy Ghost, our Guide and friend Grant us Thy grace till life shall end That will all saints our rest may be In that bright paradise with Thee AMEN
