Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1694-1764 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #676 (2006) Meter: 8.8.4.4.6.8.8.4.4.6.8.8.4.4.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright! With palms they stand; Who is this band Before the throne of light? These are the saints of glorious fame, Who from the great affliction came And in the flood Of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and shame. They now serve God both day and night; They sing their songs in endless light. Their anthems ring As they all sing With angels shining bright. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they appear! Those martyrs stand, A priestly band, God's throne forever near. On earth they wept through bitter years; Now God has wiped away their tears, Transformed their strife To heav'nly life, And freed them from their fears. They now enjoy the Sabbath rest, The heav'nly banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, At festal board Himself is host and guest. 3 O blessed saints in bright array Now safely home in endless day, Extol the Lord, Who with His Word Sustained you on the way. The steep and narrow path you trod; You toiled and sowed the Word abroad; Rejoice and bring Your fruits and sing Before the throne of God. The myriad angels raise their song; O saints, sing with that happy throng! Lift up one voice; Let heav'n rejoice In our Redeemer's song!

Now God has wiped away their tears, They now enjoy the Sabbath rest, the heav'nly banquet of the blest; the Lamb, their Lord, at festal board himself is host and guest. 3 O blessed saints in bright array, now safely home in endless day, extol the Lord, who with his Word sustained you on the way.
