Behold a Host Arrayed in White by Edvard Grieg — Lyrics
Behold a host, arrayed in white,
Like thousand snowclad mountains bright!
With palms they stand;
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

About Behold a Host Arrayed in White
Edvard Grieg's anthem Behold a Host Arrayed in White paints a vivid picture of a celestial multitude, clothed in white and holding palms. The text describes these as the saints who have endured tribulation and emerged cleansed through the blood of Jesus. Now gathered in God's presence, their voices join in a magnificent anthem of praise, accompanied by angelic song. This SATB setting in English captures the triumphant and reverent spirit of the original text, offering a powerful and uplifting experience for choirs and congregations alike.
