Who Are These, Like Stars Appearing?

Author: Heinrich Theobald Schenk Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: All Saint' Day First Line: Who are these, like stars appearing Lyrics: 1 Who are these, like stars appearing, These before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark they sing, Praising loud their heav'nly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, like priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will. Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve Him still. Now in God's most holy place Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS (OLD)

O sweet and blessèd country that eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us to that dear land of rest; who art, with God the Father and Spirit, ever blest.
