heavenly host
God's divine servants
The heavenly host is the assembly of angels and celestial beings attending God, conceived as an army or multitude: The heavenly host appeared to the shepherds.
Host here means army, from the same root as hostile.
The phrase appears in religious texts and Christmas carols, evoking ranks of angels in divine service.
