Marching on to Zion
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Joel 2:23 First Line: We are children of a King Refrain First Line: Zion, Zion, marching on to Zion Lyrics: 1 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?
Refrain:
Zion, Zion,
Marching on to Zion;
Soon we’ll enter the pearly gate,
Soon we’ll gather home.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 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 gates,
On our journey home. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We are children of a King]

My Friends and Neighbors, Far and Near
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Joel 2:15 Lyrics: 1 My friends and neighbors, far and near
Attention give and you shall hear
The Gospel trumpet still proclaim
Salvation in the Savior's name.
2 Many a seaman you have heard
Inviting you to seek the Lord,
Yet still the Gospel you disdain,
And Jesus hath been preached in vain.
3 When in affliction you do mourn,
In sickness promise to return,
But when in health run on in sin,
And drink and swear and dance again.
4 Beloved soul, sad is your case;
You mock God's people to their face.
Merry you live, but do not know
God's wrath pursues where'er you go?
5 The wicked will be sent to hell,
With devils must forever dwell.
I pray you, now return to God,
While mercy's offered in his Word.
6 Your life is short, 't is but a dream,
An empty bubble on a stream.
Swiftly your days are passing by;
Your end's approaching, you must die.
7 Come then, dear friends, for ruin bound,
Obey the Gospel's joyful sound;
Fly, fly to Jesus, do n't delay,
Come, seek salvation, seek to-day.
8 To-day the Gospel bids you come,
To-day for sinners there is room.
Prepare to meet your God in peace,
Accept the offers of his grace.
