Verse 1
Rejoice, ye
pure in heart;
rejoice, give thanks
and sing;
your glorious banner
wave on high,
the cross of Christ
your King.
Refrain
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Rejoice, give thanks,
and sing.
Verse 2
Your clear hosannas raise,
and alleluias loud;
whilst answering echoes
upward float,
like wreaths of
incense cloud.
Refrain
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Rejoice, give thanks,
and sing.
Verse 3
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
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Rejoice, give thanks,
and sing.
Verse 4
At last the
march shall end;
the wearied ones shall rest;
the pilgrims find
their heavenly home,
Jerusalem the blest.
Refrain
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Rejoice, give thanks,
and sing.
Verse 5
Praise God who
reigns on high,
the Lord whom we adore,
the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost,
one God forevermore.
Refrain
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Rejoice, give thanks,
and sing.
