Hymns of Faith ‎#15

15. Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart

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

Chorus:
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. (Chorus)

3 With all the angel choirs,
With all the saints on earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rapture, noblest mirth! (Chorus)

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. (Chorus)

5 Still lift your standard high,
Still march in firm array,
As warriors through the darkness toil
Till dawns the golden day. (Chorus)
