The New Church Hymnal ‎#271

271. 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.

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

2 Bright youth and snow-crowned age,
Strong men and maidens meek;
Raise high your free, exulting song,
God's wondrous praises speak. [Refrain]

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

4 Yes, on thro' lift's long path,
Still chanting as ye go;
From youth to age, by night and day,
In gladness and in woe. [Refrain]

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