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]

still chanting as ye go;
from youth to age, by night and day,
in gladness and in woe. [Refrain]
5 At last the march shall end,
the wearied ones shall rest;
the pilgrims find their Father's house,
Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain]
6 Then on, ye pure in heart,
rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
your glorious banner wave on high,
the cross of Christ your King. [Refrain]
