Composer: | Arthur H. Messiter, 1834-1916 |
1 Rejoice, O pilgrim throng!
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 voice as full and strong
As ocean's surging praise,
Send forth the sturdy hymns of old,
The psalms of ancient days. [Refrain]
3 With all the angel choirs,
With all the saints on earth
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
Sweet music, noblest mirth. [Refrain]
4 Still lift your standard high,
Still march in firm array,
As pilgrims through the darkness wend
Till dawns the golden day. [Refrain]
5 At last the march shall end;
The wearied ones shall rest;
The pilgrims find their homes at last,
Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain]
