Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #555 (1958) First Line: Rejoice, ye pure in heart Lyrics: 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 exalting 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 With voice as full and strong
As ocean's surging praise,
Send forth the hymns our fathers loved,
The psalms of ancient days. [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 festal banner wave on high,
The Cross of Christ your King. [Refrain] Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals; The Church Worship - The Close of Service; The Life In Christ Adoration and Praise; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Languages: English Tune Title: MARION
