1For all the Saints who from their labours rest,Who Thee by faith before the world confess’d,Thy Name, O Jesu, be for ever blest.Alleluia!
2Thou 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!
3O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,Fight as the Saints who nobly fought of old,And win, with them, the victor’s crown of gold.Alleluia!
4O blest communion! fellowship Divine!We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.Alleluia!
5And 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!
6The golden evening brightens in the west;Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest.Alleluia!
7But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;The Saints triumphant rise in bright array:The King of glory passes on His way.Alleluia!
8From 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!

Where it comes in the service
In a Church of England funeral hymns may be sung at any suitable point; the Church's own step-by-step guide places one once everyone has gathered and another after the prayers. At a Catholic funeral Mass there is an entrance song, Communion hymns and a closing hymn at the procession.
In step 5 you can tick exactly which verses to print.
