Marching to Zion
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 Emmanuel’s ground,
We’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground,
To fairer worlds on high,
To fairer worlds on high.
