The Celebration Hymnal

We're Marching to Zion

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.  

2 Let those refuse to sing  
Who never knew our God;  
But children of the heav'nly King,  
But children of the heav'nly King  
May speak their joys abroad,  
May speak their joys abroad. [Refrain]  

3 The hill of Zion yields  
A thousand sacred sweets  
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,  
Before we reach the heav'nly fields  
Or walk the golden streets,  
Or walk the golden streets. [Refrain]  

4 Then let our songs abound,  
And every tear be dry;  
We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground,  
We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground  
To fairer worlds on high,  
To fairer worlds on high. [Refrain]
