Rejoice ye pure in heart;
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
Your glo­ri­ous ban­ner wave on high,
The cross of Christ your king.

Refrain

Rejoice, re­joice, re­joice,
Give thanks and sing.

Bright youth and snow crowned age,
Strong men and maid­ens meek,
Raise high your free, ex­ult­ant song,
God’s won­drous prais­es speak.

Refrain

Yes on­ward, on­ward still
With hymn, and chant and song,
Through gate, and porch and col­umned aisle,
The hal­lowed path­ways throng.

Refrain

With all the an­gel choirs,
With all the saints of earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rap­ture, nob­lest mirth.

Refrain

Your clear ho­san­nas raise;
And al­le­luias loud;
Whilst an­swer­ing ec­hoes up­ward float,
Like wreaths of in­cense cloud.

Refrain

With voice as full and strong
As ocean’s surg­ing praise,
Send forth the hymns our fa­thers loved,
The psalms of an­cient days.

Refrain

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

Still lift your stan­dard high,
Still march in firm ar­ray,
As war­ri­ors through the dark­ness toil,
Till dawns the gold­en day.

Refrain

At last the march shall end;
The wea­ried ones shall rest;
The pil­grims find their heav­en­ly home,
Jerusalem the blessed.

Refrain

Then on, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
Your glo­ri­ous ban­ner wave on high,
The cross of Christ your king.

Refrain

Praise Him who reigns on high,
The Lord whom we ad­ore,
The Fa­ther, Son and Ho­ly Ghost,
One God for­ev­er­more.
