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!"

Den Store, Kvite Flokk
Author: Hans A. Brorson; Elias Bix Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Den store, kvite flokk me sjå Som tusen berg med nysnø på Lyrics: 1 Den store, kvite flokk me sjå Som tusen berg med nysnø på,
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!
