Behold, A Host Arrayed In White
Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #313 (1930) Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Behold, a host arrayed in white,
Like countless snowy mountains bright,
With palms they stand; who are this band
Before the throne of light?
Lo, these are they, of glorious fame,
Who from the great affliction came
And in the flood of Jesus' blood
Are cleansed from guilt and shame.
They now rejoice His face to see
And join in heaven's jubilee,
Where angels sing before their King
Their joyful symphony.
2 'Mid shame and scorn they sojourned here,
But now, how glorious they appear!
In priestly gowns, with golden crowns,
These saints to God draw near.
They suffered oft in great dismay,
And naught their flow of tears could stay;
But God above in tender love
Has wiped all tears away.
They now enjoy their Sabbath rest,
The paschal feast to them is blest;
For at their board is Christ the Lord,
Their heav'nly Host and Guest.
3 Then hail, bright heroes, strong and bold,
Ye latter saints and saints of old!
For unto death ye kept the faith,
And now are ye consoled.
Ye counted earthly treasures cheap;
In tears ye sowed,and now ye reap
The golden grain, and see your gain
In pleasures rich and deep.
In ecstasy your voices raise,
Fill heaven with your tuneful lays.
Wave high your palms and sing your psalms:
To God in Christ be praise. Topics: The Christian Life Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: SYMPHONY

Mid angels' songs of praise.
2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here;
But now, how glorious they appear!
Those martyrs stand, A priestly band,
God's throne forever near.
So oft in troubled days gone by,
In anguish they would weep and sigh;
At home above The God of love
Fore'er their tears shall dry.
They now enjoy the Sabbath rest,
The heav'nly banquet of the blest;
The Lamb, their Lord, At festive board
Himself is host and guest.

Author: C. Doving; H. A. Brorson Hymnal: Concordia #181 (1918) Hymnal Title: Concordia First Line: Behold the host arrayed in white Lyrics: 1 Behold the host arrayed in white,
Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright,
With palms they stand--
Who are this band
Before the throng of light?
These are the ransomed throng, the same
That from the tribulation came
And in the flood
Of Jesus' blood
Are cleansed from guilt and shame,
And now arrayed in robes made white
They God are serving day and night,
And anthems swell
Where God doth dwell
'Mid angels in the height.
2 On earth despised, beneath the rod,
They thro' the fire of trials trod,
Now, clothed in white,
They dwell in light,
Are kings and priests to God;
How often in the evil day
They here below did weep and pray,
But conflicts past,
Brought home at last,
God wiped their tears away;
Hunger and thirst no more they know,
No scorching sun doth work them woe,
The Lamb them feeds,
Himself them leads
Where living fountains flow.
3 O happy saints! forever blest!
Hail, ye who have attained your rest!
Faithful to death
Ye kept the faith
Though ye were sore opprest;
The world ye did renounce of yore,
The precious seed ye weeping bore,
Now reap the joy
Without alloy
In bliss forevermore;
Lift up your voice, wave palms again,
And swell the everlasting song:
All glory be
O God to Thee,
And to the Lamb belong.

Behold the Host Arrayed in White
Like Thousand Mountains Brightly Crowned
Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #245 (1927) Hymnal Title: Hymnal for Church and Home Lyrics: 1 Like thousand mountains brightly crowned,
With groves of swaying palms around,
We see a throng of ev'ry tongue
In snow-white mantles gowned.
These are the heroes who did go
Thro' pains and trials here below.
The Lamb of God has with His blood
Their robes made white as snow.
In heaven now His face they see
In never-ending jubilee
Where angels sing Before the King
The sweetest symphony.
2 Their earthly lot was shame and scorn,
But now behold them bright as morn,
In priestly gowns, with golden crowns,
And glory heaven-born.
The world did often them dismay
And tears would flow by night and day,
But God by grace in His embrace
Has wiped all tears away.
And now they find where life is best
Eternal joy with hearts at rest;
The Lamb so dear At fountains clear
In Host as well as Guest.
3 Now, hail to you, bright heroes bold,
The saints just gone, the saints of old,
That unto death ye kept the faith
And passed away consoled!
Ye counted earthly pleasures cheap,
With tears ye sowed and now ye reap
The golden grain and see your gain
With gladness strong and deep.
Lift up your voice and wave your palms,
Yea, fill all heaven with your psalms:
"All honor be Eternally
To God and to the Lamb!"

And praise the Lord, who by his word
Hath stablished you in light.

Who sowed and toiled, but tears to see,
With rapture bring your sheaves and sing

Med skog ikring, Av palmesving for Gud, - kvar er dei frå?
Det er den kjempeskare som Ut frå den store trengsla kom,
For dei ved blod Av lammet stod Reintvegne for Guds dom.
Der held dei no ein kyrkjegang Med jubelsong all dagen lang,
Med sæle ordI englekor, Med heilag harpeklang.
2 Vanvyrde gjekk dei her på jord, Men sjå dei no i vyrdnad stor
For trona stå Med kroner på I høge himmel kor.
Her tidt, når trengsla sårast brann, På deira kinner tårer rann,
Men Gud har deim Straks dei kom heim Avturka med si hand.
No held dei utan brot og brest Hjå Gud ein evig lauvsalsfest,
Og lammet då Ved livsens å Er både vert og gjest.
3 Til lukke, kjempesamling, då! Ja, tusenfald du lukke få,
For du var her Så tru især Og slapp så vel herfrå!
Du vyrde ikkje verdsens trøyst, Så kvil i Gud frå striden løyst!
Det du har sått Med sukk og gråt, Gjev haust med glederøyst.
Kved opp i høgd, slå palmetakt Og syng med himmelkraft og makt:
Lov vere deg, Lov æveleg - Vår Gud og lammet—sagt!
