Ecumenical Praise ‎#48

48. 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:
Hosanna, Hosanna, Rejoice, give thanks, and sing!

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

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

4 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]

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

6 At last the march shall end;
The wearied ones shall rest,
The pilgrims find their Father's house,
Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain]

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