Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion:
declare among the people His doings.
Psalm 9:11
Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our 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.
Refrain:
We're marching to Zion,
beautiful, beautiful Zion;
we're marching upward to Zion,
the beautiful city of God.
2. Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King,
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad,
may speak their joys abroad.
(Refrain)
3. The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets,
or walk the golden streets.
(Refrain)
4. Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground,
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground,
to fairer worlds on high,
to fairer worlds on high.
(Refrain)
and let our 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.
Refrain:
We're marching to Zion,
beautiful, beautiful Zion;
we're marching upward to Zion,
the beautiful city of God.
2. Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King,
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad,
may speak their joys abroad.
(Refrain)
3. The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets,
or walk the golden streets.
(Refrain)
4. Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground,
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground,
to fairer worlds on high,
to fairer worlds on high.
(Refrain)

Beautiful picture! :) One of my (many) favorite hymns is "The Solid Rock".
That is one of my favorites too! Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy Psalms turned into music, even though they're not the original melody. They're beautiful, and also a perfect way to memorize them!
This one is one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUZhTMZF_1I
Thanks for the comment, A.J. I love Psalms turned into hymns too! I have memorized much this way!
Dear Miss Amy,
What a surprise for me to find that you had moved to the midwest! I'm so glad that you stopped by my blog to tell me!
I'm not sure that I have a favorite hymn...I love so many...but one that I find myself humming constantly is "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"...I just love the words to this wonderful hymn...
I look forward to catching up on your new blog!
Sweet blessings,
Mrs. Laura
