We're Marching to Zion

Robert Lowry (1826-1899) [Key: D] Verse 1 Come, ye that love the Lord, And let your 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. Verse 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 Shall speak their joys abroad, Shall speak their joys abroad. Chorus We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful, Zion: We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God. Verse 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. Chorus We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful, Zion: We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God. Verse 4 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. Chorus We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful, Zion: We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.
