422. Marching to Zion

Ab           Eb7      Ab                         Eb
Come ye that love the Lord, and let your joys be known,
     Ab             Db                 Eb             Bb    Bb7 Eb
Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet ac-cord.
    Ab   Eb  Ab        Bbm7        Ab       Eb7       Ab
And thus sur-round the throne, and thus sur-round the throne.

Ab                                           Eb
We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
      Ab                 Db        Ab        Eb7     Ab
We're marching upward to Zion; the beautiful city of God


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Verse 3]
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets,
Or walk the golden streets.

[Verse 4]
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry; 
We’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground, 
We’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground, 
To fairer worlds on high,
To fairer worlds on high.
