Community of Christ Sings ‎#390

390. Onward to Zion

1 Onward to Zion, faithful and strong;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.
Onward and upward battle along;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.

2 Onward to Zion, to Christ we belong;
service the watchword we fight against wrong!
Onward to Zion, march with a song;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.

3 We have the promise that Jesus will come;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.
Let us be faithful, his will be done;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.
