68. Come, ye that love the Lord

1 Come, ye that love the Lord,
And let your joys be known,
Join in a song with sweet accord,
While ye surround his throne!

Refrain:
We're marching to Zion,
Zion the city of love,
We're marching to Zion,
The heavenly city above.

2 Let those refuse to sing,
Who never know our God;
But servants of the heav'nly King,
May speak their joys abroad. [Refrain]

3 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets;
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
Or walk the golden streets. [Refrain]
