Marching On to Zion

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?

Zion

Zion

march­ing on to Zion;

Soon we’ll en­ter the pear­ly gate

Soon we’ll ga­ther home.

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.

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 gate

On our jour­ney home.
