Come, We that Love the Lord & Jesus, Still Lead On & Awake, My Soul, Stretch Ev'ry Nerve

lyrics

Come, we that love the Lord, and let our 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.

Jesus, still lead on, till our rest be won;
and although the way be cheerless,
we will follow, calm and fearless.
Guide us by your hand to the promised land.

Awake, my sou, stretch ev'ry nerve, and press with vigor on;
a heav'nly race demands your zeal, and an immortal crown.

Blest Savior, introduced by you, have I my race begun:
and, crowned with vict'ry, at your feet I'll lay my honors down.
