Zion, blest Zion, is my home,
Cheerfully marching with the throng,
Marching to Zion, Zion, Zion,

Beautiful Zion, glo­ri­ous city,
Blessèd city of our God.
Beautiful Zion, Zion, Zion,
Zion, Zion is my home.

Happy home above.
Beautiful Zion, glo­ri­ous city,

Zion the city of the blest,
Where wayworn pilgrims find sweet rest;
Beautiful Zion, Zion, Zion,
Zion, city far above;
The only way to that bright city,
Is thru Je­sus’ precious blood;
Beautiful Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion
Zion is my home.
Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion,
City of our God.
Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion,
Happy home above.
The only way to that bright city,
Is thru Je­sus’ precious blood;
