Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart
1. Rejoice, ye pure in heart; rejoice, give thanks, and sing; your glorious banner wave on high, the cross of Christ your King. Refrain: Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 2. Your clear hosannas raise, and alleluias loud; whilst answering echoes upward float, like wreaths of incense cloud. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 4. At last the march shall end; the wearied ones shall rest; the pilgrims find their heavenly home, Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain] 5. Praise God who reigns on high, the Lord whom we adore, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, one God forevermore. [Refrain]
