Medley of Gospel Hymns

• We’re Marching to Zion

Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known;  join in a song with sweet accord, join in a song with sweet accord  and thus surround the throne, and thus surround the throne. We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;  we’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God. Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry;  we’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground, we’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground, to fairer worlds on high, to fairer worlds on high. We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; we’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.

•  Higher Ground

I’m pressing on the upward way, new heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord, lift me up and let me stand, by faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher place than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

•  Since Jesus Came Into My Heart

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I had sought since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll, since Jesus came into my heart. I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know, since Jesus came into my heart! And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go, since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll, since Jesus came into my heart.
