When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound
338
S.M.Ref.
1 Come, ye that love the Lord,
And let your joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.
We’re marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion,
We’re marching upward to Zion;
The beautiful city of God.
2 Let those that refuse to sing,
Who never knew our God;
But children of the heavenly King,
Must speak their joys abroad.
3 The men of grace have found,
Glory begun below.
Celestial fruit on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow.
4 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
5 There we shall see His face,
And never, never sin!
There, from the rivers of His grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.
6 Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Immanuel’s ground
To fairer worlds on high.
I.Watts
