  1. 1Rejoice, ye pure in heart,Rejoice, give thanks and sing;Your festal banner wave on high,The cross of Christ your King.Rejoice, rejoice,(Rejoice, rejoice,) rejoice, give thanks and sing!
  2. 2With all the angel choirs,With all the saints on earth,Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,True rapture, nobl’st mirth!Rejoice, rejoice,(Rejoice, rejoice,) rejoice, give thanks and sing!
  3. 3Yes, on thru life's long path,Still chanting as ye go;From youth to age, by night and day,In gladness and in woe,Rejoice, rejoice,(Rejoice, rejoice,) rejoice, give thanks and sing!
  4. 4Still lift your standard high,Still march in firm array;As warriors thru that darkness toilTill dawns the golden day.Rejoice, rejoice,(Rejoice, rejoice,) rejoice, give thanks and sing!
