Marching to Jerusalem

Representative Text

1 We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed,
And we're singing of its glories on the way;
To the city of our King,
Where the angel-voices ring,
Where there shines forever one unclouded day.

Chorus:
Marching on, Marching on, with joyful hosannas,
Our songs shall rise on faith's triumphant wing;
But we'll sing more sweetly there,
In His presence, bright and fair,
In Jerusalem, the city of our King.

2 We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed,
But there's work to do for Jesus as we go;
There are helpful words to say,
Sorrow's tears to wipe away,
Precious seeds, that to the harvest soon will grow. [Chorus]

3 We are marching to Jerusalem the blessed,
And its light streams down upon the path we tread;
For the King who reigns above,
Comes beside us in his love,
By the banners of his mercy we are led. [Chorus]
