Author: Hezekiah Butterworth Hymnal: On Joyful Wing #6 (1886) Refrain First Line: Marching onward, marching onward Lyrics: 1 We are marching home to Zion,
We are marching day by day;
We are marching home to Zion,
We are pilgrims on the way;
In the name of God our banners
In the morning light we raise,
And with bursts of glad hosannas
Ev’ry day we end in praise.
Refrain:
Marching onward, marching onward,
Marching onward day by day;
We are marching home to Zion,
We are marching day by day;
We are marching home to Zion,
We are pilgrims on the way;
2 We shall see the King in beauty,
We shall see him on his throne;
He shall shine, a sun in splendor
That a guiding light has shown;
Day by day his grace increases,
Brighter hope sour spirits fill;
Day by day our songs of triumph
Nearer draw to Zion’s hill. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We are marching home to Zion]
We are Marching Home to Zion
