Words that rhyme with Rejoice
In phonetic terms, rejoice is a two-syllable anchor on the rounded /ɔɪ/ glide, which lets the line dissolve into a fricative. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. The headline counts: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. The lyric headline: it works as a household-word. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why rejoice rhymes the way it does
Rejoice is built around the /ɔɪ/ diphthong (/ɔɪ/); it's two-syllable and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 36, assonance 1,619, and consonance 481. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Rejoice reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
