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 voice as full and strong
As ocean’s surging praise,
Send forth the hymns our fathers loved,
The psalms of ancient days. [Refrain]
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. [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 Praise Him who reigns on high,
The Lord whom we adore,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One God forevermore! [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 32:11 Languages: English Tune Title: MARION
Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart
