Glorious THings of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #423 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Doctrines Eternal Life First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God Lyrics: 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 wall surrounded, Thou mayest 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 and want remove; Who can faint when such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near; Blest inhabitants of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer’s blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 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. Tune Title: AUSTRIA

Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #424 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Doctrines Eternal Life First Line: For thee, O dear, dear country, Mine eyes their vigils keep Lyrics: 1 For thee, O dear country, Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love beholding Thy holy name, they weep. The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, And love, and life, and rest 2 O one, O only mansion! O Paradise of joy! Where tears are ever banish’d And smiles have no alloy; Thy loveliness oppresses All human thought and heart, And none, O Peace, O SIon, Can sing thee as thou art. 3 With jasper glow thy bulwarks, Thy streets with emeralds blaze; The sardius and the topaz Unite in thee their rays; Thine ageless walls are bonded With amethyst unpriced; The saints shall build thy fabric, And the cornerstone is Christ. 4 The cross is all thy splendor, The Crucified thy praise; His laud and benediction Thy ransom’d saints shall raise; Upon the Rock of Ages They build thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God’s elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Tune Title: ELY CATHEDRAL

Holy, Holy, Is What the Angels Sing

Refrain Holy, holy, is what the angels sing, And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring; But when I sing redemption’s story, they will fold their wings, For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings. 2 But I hear another anthem, blending voices clear and strong, “Unto Him who hath redeemed us and hath bought us,” is the song; We have come thro’ tribulations to this land so fair and bright, In the fountain freely flowing He hath made our garments white. [Refrain] 3 Then the angels stand and listen, for they cannot join that song, Like the sound of many waters, by that happy, blood-washed throng; For they sing about great trials, battles fought and vict’ries won, And they praised the great Redeemer, who hath said to them, “Well done.” [Refrain] 4 So, although I’m not an angel, yet I know that over there I will join a blessed chorus that the angels cannot share; I will sing about my Savior, who upon dark Calvary Freely pardoned my transgressions, died to set the sinner free. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There is singing up in heaven such as we have never known]
