From all their labors now they rest In God's eternal glory blest. 3 They see their Savior face to face And sing the triumphs of his grace. Each day and night they sing his praise, To him the loud thanksgiving raise: 4 "Worthy the Lamb, for sinners slain, Through endless years to live and reign; You have redeemed us by your blood And made us kings and priests to God." 5 Oh, may we tread the sacred road That saints and holy martyrs trod, Wage to the end the glorious strife, And win, like them, a crown of life.

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: Hans A.

Who is this band Before the throne of light? These are the saints 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 does dwell Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they 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 Fore'er their tears shall dry. They now enjoy the Sabbath rest, The heav'nly banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, At festive board Himself is host and guest. 3 [Text copyrighted] Languages: English Tune Title: GREAT WHITE HOST

Author: R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #559 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Saints and Martyrs Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war A kingly crown to gain. 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 them that 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, men and boys, The matron and the maid, 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

To them are chanted Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted. 5 Come, O Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With you, th' Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Languages: English Tune Title: O WIE SELIG
