This is a key change of "Festal Song."

Nice double rhyme with view/do and anew/you, nice in the sense that it's not actually repeating the same words. The first verse talks about the saints who "strove in [God] to live," which makes sense, we want to live our lives rooted in God. The next one, however, follows it up with the saints who "strove in [God] to die." And...are we talking about martyrs here? People who tried to become martyrs a little too hard? People who just wanted to make sure they were focused on God when they died, hopefully in bed at a ripe old age? Not really sure what we're going for here.
