485. Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart

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 all the angel choirs,
With all the saints on earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rapture, noblest mirth! [Refrain]

3 Still lift your standard high,
Still march in firm array;
As warriors through the darkness toil
Till dawns the golden day. [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 Then on, ye pure in heart,
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
Your festal banner wave on high,
The cross of Christ your King. [Refrain]
