Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,310 hymnals Topics: Processional Hymns 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 walls surrounded, thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living water 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 Blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in their Redeemer's blood, Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God. 'Tis his love his people raises over self to reign as kings, and as priests, his solemn praises each for a thank-off'ring brings. 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 are the worldling's pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 46:4 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
