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 ev’ry tear be dry; We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground, We’re marching thro’ Immanuel’s ground, To fairer worlds on high, To fairer worlds on high. (refrain)
