(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Rejoice, ye pure in heart, Rejoice, give thanks and sing;
You festal banner wave on high, The cross of Christ your King;
REFRAIN
Rejoice, (Rejoice), 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
With all the angel choirs, With all the saints on earth;
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss; True rapture, noblest mirth;
Refrain
5
Still lift your standard high, Still march in firm array,
As warriors thru the darkness toil Till dawns the golden day;
Refrain
