We are marching toward the city fair, Beautiful city fair, beautiful city fair; Where the angel anthems fill the air, Beautiful city fair, city fair. 3 We are marching to the home of God, Beautiful home of God, beautiful home of God; And our guidebook is His holy Word, The beautiful Word of God.

We are marching to the home of God, Beautiful home of God, beautiful home of God; And our guidebook is His holy Word, Beautiful Word of God, Word of God.
