The Host no Man can Number

Author: H. L. F. Hymnal: FM1891 #174 (1891) Tune Title: [A host so vast and numberless] First Line: A host so vast and numberless Refrain First Line: A throng no man can number Lyrics: 1 A host so vast and numberless, The countless millions stand, Around the great Jehovah’s throne, With waving palms in hand. Refrain: A throng no man can number, As the stars or the sands by the sea; They wave their palms, singing, “Glory be to God, Who giveth us the victory.” 2 Whence came these countless shining ones? Up from earth’s toil and pain, They came thro’ tribulations sore, This heav’nly rest to gain. [Refrain] 3 These are the poor and lowly souls Who passed beneath the rod, Relying on His promise sure, “The lowly shall see God.” [Refrain] 4 And these were kind and merciful, Who trusting in the Lord, Dealt gently with the erring ones, And this their great reward. [Refrain] 5 And these made peace and conquered strife; To them bright crowns are giv’n; The King hath made them sons and heirs, And they inherit heav’n. [Refrain] 6 How came they to this blessed place? And whence their bright array? Their robes are white in Jesus’ blood, Their sins are washed away.
