Zion
Sunday, we looked at the meaning of the word "Zion". From a mountain fortress, to the city of David, to the temple and presence of God, culminating in the heavenly city, the concept of Zion permeates the Bible.
The hymn writers discovered the concept of Zion as the heavenly city to be occupied by believing men and women for eternity. One of those hymns is "Marching to Zion". Here are the lyrics.
Marching to Zion
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; weæ?®e 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.
