rejoicer

One who exults

A rejoicer is someone who rejoices—who feels or expresses great joy or delight.

The word appears occasionally in religious contexts for those who celebrate spiritual occasions: The rejoicers gathered for the festival.

It's uncommon in everyday speech, where "someone who rejoices" would be more natural.
