Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
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 salvation's walls surrounded
Thou may smile at all Thy foes
See, the streams of Living Waters
Apringing from eternal love
Well supply Thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove
Who can faint while such a river
Ever will their thirst assuage
Grace which, like the Lord the giver
Never fails from age to age
Round each habitation hov'ring
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov'ring
Showing that the Lord is near
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which God gives them when they pray
Savior since of Zion's city
I thro' grace a member am
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in Thy Name
Fading are the world's vain pleasures
All their boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasures
None but Zion's children know
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 salvation's walls surrounded
Thou may smile at all Thy foes
See, the streams of Living Waters
Apringing from eternal love
Well supply Thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove
Who can faint while such a river
Ever will their thirst assuage
Grace which, like the Lord the giver
Never fails from age to age
Round each habitation hov'ring
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov'ring
Showing that the Lord is near
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which God gives them when they pray
Savior since of Zion's city
I thro' grace a member am
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in Thy Name
Fading are the world's vain pleasures
All their boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasures
None but Zion's children know
