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 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]
4 At last the march shall end;
the wearied ones shall rest;
the pilgrims find their home at last,
Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain]
5 Then on, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing!
Your festal banner wave on high,
the cross of Christ your King. [Refrain]
