<p>Behold a host, arrayed in white,<br>
Like thousand snow clad mountains bright,<br>
With palms they stand. Who is this band<br>
Before the throne of light?<br>
Lo, these are they of glorious fame<br>
Who from the great affliction came<br>
And in the flood of Jesus&#8217; blood<br>
Are cleansed from guilt and blame.<br>
Now gathered in the holy place<br>
Their voices they in worship raise,<br>
Their anthems swell where God doth dwell,<br>
Mid angels&#8217; song of praise.</p>
<p>Despised and scorned, they sojourned here;<br>
But now, how glorious they appear!<br>
Those martyrs stand a priestly band,<br>
God&#8217;s throne forever near.<br>
So oft, in troubled days gone by,<br>
In anguish they would weep and sigh.<br>
At home above the God of Love<br>
For aye their tears shall dry.<br>
They now enjoy their Sabbath rest,<br>
The paschal banquet of the blest;<br>
The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board<br>
Himself is Host and Guest.</p>
<p>Then hail, ye mighty legions, yea,<br>
All hail! Now safe and blest for aye,<br>
And praise the Lord, Who with His Word<br>
Sustained you on the way.<br>
Ye did the joys of earth disdain,<br>
Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain.<br>
Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing<br>
Salvation&#8217;s glad refrain.<br>
Swing high your palms, lift up your song,<br>
Yea, make it myriad voices strong.<br>
Eternally shall praise to Thee,<br>
God, and the Lamb belong.</p>
