Verse 1

Rejoice, O pilgrim throng! Rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
Your festal banner wave on high, The cross of Christ your King.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

Still lift your standard high, Still march in firm array,
As warriors through the darkness toil, Till dawns the golden day.

Verse 5

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

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, Give thanks and sing.
