Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken
Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken
Verse
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
may’st smile at all thy foes.
Verse
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.
Verse
3
Round
each habitation hovering,
See
the cloud and fire appear!
For
a glory and a cov’ring
Showing
that the Lord is near.
Thus
deriving from our banner
Light
by night and shade by day;
Safe
they feed upon the manna
Which
He gives them when they pray.
Verse
4
Savior,
if of Zion’s city,
I
through grace a member am,
Let
the world deride or pity,
I
will glory in Thy Name.
Fading
is the worldling’s pleasure,
All
his boasted pomp and show;
Solid
joys and lasting treasure
None
but Zion’s children know.
