20. Marching to the Land Above

1 We are marching to a land above,
Beautiful land above, beautiful land above;
To a land where dwells eternal love,
The beautiful land above.

And we sing a glad, triumphant song,
Marching along, marching along, marching along;
While our glorious Captain leads us on,
Marching along, marching along, marching along.

We are marching to a land above,
Beautiful land above, beautiful land above;
To a land where dwells eternal love,
The beautiful land above, land above.

2 We are marching toward the city fair,
Beautiful city fair, beautiful city fair;
Where the angel-anthems fill the air,
The beautiful city fair.

And we sing a glad, triumphant song,
Marching along, marching along, marching along;
While our glorious Captain leads us on,
Marching along, marching along, marching along.

We are marching toward the city fair,
Beautiful city fair, beautiful city fair;
Where the angel-anthems fill the air,
The beautiful city fair, city fair.

3 We are marching to the home of God,
Beautiful home of God, beautiful home of God;
And our guide-book is his holy word,
The beautiful word of God.

And we sing a glad, triumphant song,
Marching along, marching along, marching along;
While our glorious Captain leads us on,
Marching along, marching along, marching along.

We are marching to the home of God,
Beautiful home of God, beautiful home of God;
And our guide-book is his holy word,
The beautiful word of God, word of God.
