Text: Romans 8:18-39. Hymn: 676, Behold a Host, Arrayed in White.
When I sing this one I always think of Grandma, since it was one of her favorites. Having sung both the TLH and the LSB version in recent memory, I can say that I prefer the version in TLH in E flat if you have parts. The text got a major rewrite, too. Kantor Stephen Hoffman and I performed this at the dedication of the new sanctuary for Trinity-Rock Springs.
Listening to that performance, I see we’ve made a decent improvement in recording quality. 
A hymn like this reminds us that this life now is not our “best life.” We’re in the great affliction. We’re despised and scorned. Some Christians are martyred. We look toward the new heaven and earth, to the endless rejoicing at the heavenly banquet of the blest, welcome only because we are washed in the blood of the Lamb.

The more I listen to this I think I took it a bit slow. But I do think it still works.
I think it works. Too much faster and we don’t get to hear all the cool organ stuff. One blink and we’d miss the zimbelstern.
