  1. King of Saints, to whom the number
    Of Thy starry host is known,
    Many a name, by man forgotten,
    Lives forever round Thy throne

  2. Lights, which earth-born mists have darkened
    There are shining full and clear
    Princes in the courts of Heaven,
    Nameless, unremembered here

  3. How they toiled for Thee and suffered
    None on earth can now record;
    All their saintly saintly life is hidden
    In the knowledge of their Lord.

  4. All is veiled from us, but written
    In the Lamb's great book of life,
    All the faith, and prayer, and patience,
    All the toiling, and the strife.

  5. There are told Thy hidden treasures,
    Number us, O Lord, with them,
    When Thou makest up the jewels
    Of Thy living diadem. Amen.
