27. 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 voice as full and strong As ocean’s surging praise, Send forth the sturdy hymns of old, The psalms of ancient days. 3 With all the angel choirs, With all the saints of earth, Pour out the strains of joy and bliss, True rapture, noblest mirth. 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. 5 Praise Him who reigns on high, The Lord whom we adore, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One God forever more.
