009 - Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart!

Rejoice ye pure 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.

With voice as full and strong
As ocean's surging praise,
Send forth the sturdy hymns of old
The psalms of ancient days.

REFRAIN

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Give thanks and sing.

With all the angel choirs,
With all the saints of earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rapture, noblest mirth.

REFRAIN

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Give thanks and sing.

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

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Give thanks and sing.

Praise Him who reigns on high;
The Lord whom we adore;
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost;
One God forever more

REFRAIN

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Give thanks and sing.
