We're Marching to Zion
Isaac Watts 1674 - 1748
Chorus: Robert Lowry 1826 - 1899
"Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away." -Isaiah 51:11
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.Chorus: We're marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion
We're marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.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.Then let our songs abound
And ev'ry 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.Chorus: We're marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion
We're marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.
