Processional.

" Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the LORD." EJOICE ye pure in heart,

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. Still lift your standard high, Still march in firm array,

Rejoice, give thanks and sing; Your festal banner wave on high, The Cross of CHRIST your King. Bright youth and snow- crowned age, Strong men and maidens meek, Raise high your free exulting song, GOD's wondrous praises speak. Yes onward, onward still, With hymn, and chant, and song, Thro'gate, and porch, and column'd aisle, The hallowed pathways throng. With all the angel choirs, With all the saints on earth, Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,

True rapture, noblest mirth.

Your clear Hosannas raise,

And Alleluias loud;

ddd

With voice as full and strong

As ocean's surging praise,

Send forth the hymns our fathers loved,

The psalms of ancient days.

As warriors through the darkness toil Till dawns the golden day.

At last the march shall end,

The wearied ones shall rest, The pilgrims find their Father's House, Jerusalem the blest.

Then on, ye pure in heart, Rejoice, give thanks, and sing; Your festal banner wave on high, The Cross of CHRIST your King. Praise Him Who reigns on high, The LORD Whom we adore,

Whilst answering echoes upward float, The FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST, One GoD for evermore.

Like wreaths of incense cloud.
