Come, we that love the Lord

by Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 422.

Verse 1

Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne, And thus surround the throne.

Refrain

We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.

Verse 2

Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But children of the heavenly King, But children of the heavenly King, May speak their joys abroad, May speak their joys abroad.

Verse 3

The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heavenly fields, before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets, Or walk the golden streets.

Verse 4

Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground, We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground, To fairer worlds on high, To fairer worlds on high.
