1 Rejoice, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
your festal banner wave on high,
the cross of Christ your king.
Refrain:
Hosanna! Hosanna!
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 With all the angel choirs,
with all the saints on earth
pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
true rapture, noblest mirth. [Refrain]
4 Still lift your standard high,
still march in firm array,
as pilgrims through the darkness wend
till dawns the golden day. [Refrain]
5 At last the march shall end;
the wearied ones shall rest;
the pilgrims find their home at last,
Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain]
6 Praise God who reins on high,
the Lord whom we adore:
the Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
one God forevermore. [Refrain]
