Rejoice, ye pure in heart;
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing.
Your festal banner wave on high--
The cross of Christ, your King.
Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice,
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing!
With all the angel choirs,
With all the saints on earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rapture, noblest mirth!
Yes, on through life's long path,
Still chanting as you go;
From youth to age, by night and day,
In gladness and in woe,
Still lift your standard high;
Still march in firm array;
As warriors, through the darkness toil
Till dawns the golden day.
Praise God Who reigns on high,
The Lord Whom we adore;
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost--
One God forevermore.
