| Re | joice, re | joice, |

| Rejoice, | give thanks | and | sing. |
| Bright youth and snow crowned age, |
| Strong men and maidens meek, |
| Raise high your free, exultant song, |
| God's wondrous praises speak. |
| Chorus |
| Yes onward, onward still |
| With hymn, and chant and song, |
| Through gate, and porch and columned aisle, |
| The hallowed pathways throng. |
| Chorus |
| With all the angel choirs, |
| With all the saints of earth, |
| Pour out the strains of joy and bliss, |
| True rapture, noblest mirth. |
| Chorus |
| Your clear hosannas raise; |
| And alleluias loud; |
| Whilst answering echoes upward float, |
| Like wreaths of incense cloud. |
| Chorus |
| With voice as full and strong |
| As ocean's surging praise, |
| Send forth the hymns our fathers loved, |
| The psalms of ancient days. |
| Chorus |
| 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. |
| Chorus |
| Still lift your standard high, |
| Still march in firm array, |
| As warriors through the darkness toil, |
| Till dawns the golden day. |
| Chorus |
| At last the march shall end; |
| The wearied ones shall rest; |
| The pilgrims find their heavenly home, |
| Jerusalem the blessed. |
| Chorus |
| Then on, ye pure in heart! |
| Rejoice, give thanks and sing! |
| Your glorious banner wave on high, |
| The cross of Christ your King. |
| Chorus |
| Praise Him Who reigns on high, |
| The Lord Whom we adore, |
| The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, |
| One God forevermore. |
