Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart

394 Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart

Rejoice, ye pure in heart,
   Rejoice, give thanks and sing;
   Your festive banner wave on high,
   The cross of Christ your King.

Refrain:
   Rejoice, rejoice,
   Rejoice, give thanks and sing.

2 Go 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]

3 Then on, ye pure in heart,
   Rejoice, give thanks and sing;
   Your glorious banner wave on high,
   The cross of Christ your King. [Refrain]

Cyberhymnal adds some verses:

2 Bright youth and snow-crowned age,
   All those for truth do seek;
   Raise high your free, exulting song,
   God's wondrous praises speak. [Refrain]

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

5. Your clear hosannas raise;
   And alleluias loud;
   Whilst answering echoes upward float,
   Like wreaths of incense cloud. [Refrain]

6. With voice as full and strong
   As ocean’s surging praise,
   Send forth the hymns our fathers loved,
   The psalms of ancient days. [Refrain]

8. Still lift your standard high,
   Still march in firm array,
   As warriors through the darkness toil,
   Till dawns the golden day. [Refrain]

9. At last the march shall end;
   The wearied ones shall rest;
   The pilgrims find their heavenly home,
   Jerusalem the blessed. [Refrain]
