St. Michael (S.M. Old 134th) Verses/Key/v6/G
REJOICE, YE PURE IN HEART
1. 
Rejoice, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
Your glorious banner wave on high,
The word of Christ your King.
2.
Bright youth and snow crowned age,
Strong men and maidens meek,
Raise high your free, exultant song,
God's wondrous praises speak!
3.
With all the angel choirs,
With all the saints of earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True joy, and noblest mirth.
4.
Still lift your standard high,
Still march in firm array,
As warriors through the darkness toil,
Till dawns the golden day.
5.
At last the march shall end;
The wearied ones shall rest;
The pilgrims find their Father’s house,
Jerusalem the blest.
6.
Then on, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
Your glorious banner wave on high,
The word of Christ your King.
