Marching to Jerusalem

Author: E. H. Lide Hymnal: Junior Songs #21 (1892) First Line: We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed Refrain First Line: Marching on, Marching on Lyrics: 1 We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed, And we're singing of its glories on the way; To the city of our King, Where the angel-voices ring, Where there shines forever one unclouded day. Chorus: Marching on, Marching on, with joyful hosannas, Our songs shall rise on faith's triumphant wing; But we'll sing more sweetly there, In His presence, bright and fair, In Jerusalem, the city of our King. 2 We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed, But there's work to do for Jesus as we go; There are helpful words to say, Sorrow's tears to wipe away, Precious seeds, that to the harvest soon will grow. [Chorus] 3 We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed, And its light streams down upon the path we tread; For the King who reigns above, Comes beside us in his love, By the banners of his mercy we are led. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed]" in Junior Songs William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
