For All the Saints

On this Labor Day, a William Walsham How hymn, "For All the Saints", comes to mind. Ralph Vaughan William re-arranged the hymn to his Sine Nomine setting. This is one of the most beloved hymns in Christendom.

The first stanza of the hymn reads as follows:

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