GLORIOUS THINGS OF THEE ARE SPOKEN
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 salvation's
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 t' assuage?
Grace which, like
the Lord, the Giver,
Never fails from
age to age.
3. Round each
habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and
fire appear
For a glory and a
cov'ring,
Showing that the
Lord is near!
Glorious things of
thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our
God!
He, whose word
cannot be broken,
Formed thee for His
own abode.
