- Glorious things of thee are spoken
- .i John Newton (1725 - 1807)
-
- .1
- Glorious things of thee are spoken,
- Zion, city of our God!
- He, Whose Word cannot be broken,
- Formed thee for His own abode.
- On the Rock of Ages founded,
- What can shake thy sure repose?
- With salvations walls surrounded,
- Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
-
- .2
- See! the streams of living waters,
- Springing from eternal love;
- Well supply thy sons and daughters,
- And all fear of want remove:
- Who can faint while such a river
- Ever flows their thirst to assuage?
- Grace, which like
- the Lord, the Giver,
- Never fails from age to age.
-
- .3
- Saviour, if of Zions city,
- I through grace a member am,
- Let the world deride or pity,
- I will glory in Thy Name.
- Fading is the worldlings pleasure,
- All his boasted pomp and show;
- Solid joys and lasting treasure
- None but Zions children know.
- .
