Marching Up to Zion Songtext
von The Blind Boys of Alabama

(Instrumental or vocal harmonization)
Come, we that love the Lord
And let our 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
Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God
But children of the heavenly King
But children of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad
May speak their joys abroad
We′re marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
We're marching upward to Zion


The beautiful city of God
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields
Before we reach the heavenly fields
Or walk the golden streets
Or walk the golden streets
We're marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
We′re marching upward to Zion
The beautiful city of God
Then let our songs abound
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
