1 Rejoice, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing!
Your festal banner wave on high,
The cross of Christ your King!
Rejoice, rejoice,
rejoice, give thanks and sing.
2 With all the angel choirs,
With all the saints of earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rapture, noblest mirth!
Rejoice, rejoice,
rejoice, give thanks and sing.
3 Yes, on through life's long path!
Still chanting as ye go;
From youth to age, by night and day,
In gladness and in woe.
Rejoice, rejoice,
rejoice, give thanks and sing.
4 Still lift your standard high!
Still march in firm array!
As warriors through the darkness toil,
Till dawns the golden day!
Rejoice, rejoice,
rejoice, give thanks and sing.
