Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart

1 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!  

2 With all the angel choirs,  
With all the saints on earth,  
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,  
True rapture, noblest mirth! [Refrain]  

3 Yes, on thro' life's long path,  
Still chanting as ye go;  
From youth to age, by night and day,  
In gladness and in woe, [Refrain]  

4 Still lift your standard high;  
Still march in firm array;  
As warriors, thro' the darkness toil  
Till dawns the golden day. [Refrain]  

5 Praise God Who reigns on high,  
The Lord Whom we adore;  
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost -  
One God forevermore. [Refrain]
