Another we often sing is "We're Marching to Zion" (Isaac Watts, 1707).
1. Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known;
join in a song with sweet accord, (repeat)
and thus surround the throne, (repeat)
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 heavenly King, (repeat)
may speak their joys abroad. (repeat)
(Refrain)
3. The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields, (repeat)
or walk the golden streets. (repeat)
(Refrain)
4. Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground, (repeat)
to fairer worlds on high. (repeat)
(Refrain)
