Rejoice, ye pure in heart;
rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
your glorious banner wave on high,
the cross of Christ your King.
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.
Praise God who reigns on high,
the Lord whom we adore,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
one God forevermore.
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice,
give thanks and sing.
Edward H. Plumptre, 1865
(Psalm 20:4; Psalm 147:1; Philippians 4:4)
