786. Rejoice, O Pilgrim Throng!

1 Rejoice, O pilgrim throng!
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 Your hallelujahs loud,
your clear hosannas raise!
Send forth your sturdy hymns of old,
the psalms of ancient days. [Refrain]

3 Lift up your standard high!
March on in firm array!
As pilgrims through the darkness wend
till dawns the golden day. [Refrain]

4 At last the march shall end;
the wearied ones shall rest;
the pilgrims reach their home at last,
Jerusalem the blessed. [Refrain]

5 Praise God, who reigns on high,
the Lord whom we adore:
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
one God forevermore. [Refrain]
