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.
