Lutheran Hymn Project - Behold the Host Arrayed in White

Behold the host arrayed in white
Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright
That stands with palms and sings its psalms
Before the throne of light!
These are the saints who kept God's word
They are the honored of the Lord
He is their prince who drowned their sins
So they were cleansed, restored
They now serve God both day and night
They sing their songs in endless light
Their anthems ring when they all sing
With angels shining bright

On earth their work was not thought wise
But see them now in heaven's eyes
Before God's throne of precious stone
They shout their vict'ry cries
On earth they wept through bitter years
Now God has wipes away their tears
Transformed their strife to heav'nly life
And freed them from their fears
For now they have the best at last
They keep their sweet eternal feast
At God's right hand our Lord commands
In our redeemer's song!

O blessed saints, now take your rest
A thousand times shall you be blest
For keeping faith firm unto death
And scorning worldly trust
For now you live at home with God
And harvest seeds once cast abroad
In tears and sighs. See with new eyes
The pattern in the seed
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!
