Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 Appears in 23 hymnals 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? 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 blame. Now gathered in the holy place, Their voices they in worship raise; Their anthems swell where God doth dwell Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they must 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 For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is Host and Guest. 3 Then hail! ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing Salvation's glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb belong.

Like Thousand Mountains Brightly Crowned

Author: H. A. Brorson Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Like thousand mountains brightly crowned, With groves of swaying pans around, We see a throng of ev'ry tongue In snow-white mantles gowned. These are the heroes who did go Through prawns 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 "All honor be Eternally To God and to the Lamb!" Topics: Comfort and Hope Used With Tune: [Like thousand mountains brightly crowned]

Behold a host like mountains bright!

Author: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1694 - 1764 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a host like mountains bright! Lo! who are these, arrayed in white, A glorious band, with palms in hand Around the throne of light? Lo, these are they who overcame Great tribulation in his Name, And with his Blood the Lamb of God Hath washed away their shame. Before God's face they sing and pray, Their voices blend with angels' lay, And all conspire, a joyous choir, To laud him night and day. 2 Then sing, ye conquering legions white, Let myriad voices hail his might, And praise the Lord, who by his word Hath stablished you in light. Ye, who all earthly lure did flee, Who sowed and toiled, but tears to see, With rapture bring your sheaves and sing A heavenly melody. Lift up your palms, your voices raise Through heaven's vault and endless days. To God and to the Lamb is due Eternity of praise.
