Author: Isaac Watts; Robert Lowry Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #111 (1997) First Line: Come, we that love the Lord Lyrics: 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 (on) to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We're marching upward to Zion, (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 through Immanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high,
To fairer worlds on high. [Refrain]
