were 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
heavenly King, But children of the heavenly 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 every tear be dry;
We’re marching thru
Immanuel’s ground, We’re marching thru Immanuel’s ground, To fairer worlds on high, To fairer worlds on high.
