1 Rejoice, ye pure in heart!
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 With voice as full and strong
as ocean’s surging praise,
send forth the sturdy hymns of old,
the psalms of ancient days. [Refrain]
3 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]
4 At last the march shall end;
the wearied ones shall rest;
the pilgrims find their home at last,
Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain]
5 Then on, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing!
Your festal banner wave on high,
the cross of Christ your King. [Refrain]

Name: | MARION |
Composer: | Arthur Henry Messiter (1883) |
Meter: | SM with refrain |
Key: | F Major |
These stanzas are drawn from a much longer hymn created for the processional at an English choir festival in 1865. The original text lacked the refrain that gives the hymn so much of its energy and interest. That feature was added by the composer of this tune in 1883.
