Come ye that love the Lord, and let your 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.
We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We're marching upward to Zion; the beautiful city of God.
Then let our songs a bound and every 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.
We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We're marching upward to Zion; the beautiful city of God
We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We're marching upward to Zion; the beautiful city of God.
This is an old old song that we used to sing a lot in church but haven't sung it for years. I like the newer contemporary Christian songs (although the hand-clapping ones not so much) but there is something to be said for these songs we sang in the "old days." So why did I chose this particular song to share today? I was trying to think of something that would go with March since March is right around the corner. I know it is kind of "hokey" but that was how I chose this song. I do like the song. I like the concept of Marching to Zion.
