God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits. Ev’ry humble spirit shares it. Christ has passed th’ eternal gates. 3 Life eternal! Heav’n rejoices: Jesus lives who once was dead. Shout with joy, O deathless voices! Child of God, lift up your head! Life eternal!

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #553 (1996) Topics: Saints and Martyrs 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. Languages: English Tune Title: DEN STORE HVIDE FLOK

O Father, 'tis Thy will. The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail. Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight Thou, and I'll prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall set my spirit free, By death I shall escape from death To endless life with Thee. 8 Knowing as I am known; How shall I love that word And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin; Fling open wide the golden gates And let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Proclaims the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousandfold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy pow'r and reign. Appear, Desire of Nations; Thine exiles long for home. Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come! Languages: English Tune Title: ALFORD

His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below - He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his master in the sky And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for those who did the wrong - Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel - Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, girls and boys, With men and women saved, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain. O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW
