422. Marching to Zion

A            E7       A                          E
Come ye that love the Lord, and let your joys be known,
     A              D                  E              B     B7 E
Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet ac-cord.
    A    E   A         Bm7         A        E7        A
And thus sur-round the throne, and thus sur-round the throne.

A                                            E
We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
      A                  D         A         E7      A
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.
