Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#312

312. Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart

1 Rejoice, ye pure in heart,
rejoice, give thanks and sing
beneath the standard of your God,
the cross of Christ your King.

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

2 Bright youth and snow crowned age,
strong men and maidens fair,
raise high your free, exulting song,
God's wondrous praise declare. [Refrain]

3 Yes, on through life's long path,
still singing 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 weary 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 Spirit blest,
one God forevermore. [Refrain]
