Hymn
We’re Marching to Zion
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.
Chorus – We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.
Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But children of the heav’n-ly King, But children of the heav’n-ly King May speak their joys abroad, May speak their joys abroad.
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.
Then let our songs abound, And ev-’ry 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.
