415 We're Marching to Zion. S.M.
The Christian Journey.
Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known,
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.
CHO.--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 heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad.
3 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
4 Then let our songs abound,
And ev'ry tear be dry;
We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high.
Isaac Watts, 1709.
