Marching on to Zion

Verse 1

We are children of a King, Marching on to Zion; O the songs of joy we sing, On our journey home; Will you go with us today, Marching on to Zion, Where the King will lead the way, On our journey home?

Chorus

Zion, Zion, Marching on to Zion; Soon we’ll enter the pearly gate, Soon we’ll gather home.

Verse 2

Toil and danger we shall meet, Marching on to Zion; Thorns will pierce our weary feet, On our journey home; Yet the King His own will cheer, Marching on to Zion; O how oft His words we hear, On our journey home.

Verse 3

True and faithful let us be, Marching on to Zion, Till our eyes the King shall see, On our journey home; Hark, He bids us watch and wait, Marching on to Zion; Till we reach the pearly gates, On our journey home.
