LSB #669 "Come, We That Love the Lord"

Biblical citations in the hymnal:  Isaiah 35:8-18, Psalm 48:2, Jeremiah 31:12, Psalm 149:2

I'm assuming that the "18" in the hymnal is a typo because Isaiah 35 has only 10 verses.

Isaiah 35:8-10:  "8 And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it.  It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.  9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there.  10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."

Psalm 48:2:  "beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King."

Jeremiah 31:12:  "They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the LORD, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more."

Psalm 149:2:  "Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!"

The text is public domain:

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.

Let those refuse to sing

Who never knew our God;

But children of the heav'nly King,

But children of the heav'nly King

May speak their joys abroad,

May speak their joys aboard.

We're marching to Zion,

Beautiful, beautiful Zion;

We're marching upward to Zion,

The beautiful city of God.

The hill of Zion yields

A thousand sacred sweets

Before we reach the heav'nly fields,

Before we reach the heav'nly fields,

Or walk the golden streets,

Or walk the golden streets.

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 ev'ry 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.

All of the cited passages seem to be combined in the first two lines of the first verse ("Come, we that love the Lord, / And let our joys be known") and in the refrain.  The passage from Isaiah is a bit more prominent in the refrain, though; the walking in verses 8-9 appears as "marching" in the hymn.

The passages from Isaiah and Jeremiah also appear in the line "Join in a song with sweet accord" in the first verse and "Then let our songs abound" in the last verse, although the context in the first verse ("And thus surround the throne") also recalls Revelation 5 and 7.

The verse from Jeremiah is also present at the beginning of the third verse:  "The hill of Zion yields / A thousand sacred sweets."

The description of "golden streets" in the third verse seems to come from Revelation 21:21 ("the street of the city was pure gold").

The line "And ev'ry tear be dry" in the last verse could come from "sorrow and sighing shall flee away" in Isaiah 35:10 or even "they shall languish no more" in Jeremiah 31:12, although it has a greater similarity to "the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces" in Isaiah 25:8 or "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes" in Revelation 21:4.
