Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: Rev. John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,297 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church 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 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 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: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray. Amen. Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. 2 We mark her goodly battlements, And her foundations strong; We hear within the solemn voice Of her unending song. 3 For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God; Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad, 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould; Bernhard S. Ingemann Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 316 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Sacraments Christian Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land: Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light; Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God's own presence O'er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread; One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires; 3 One the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one, One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun; One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love forevermore. 4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers, Onward, with the cross our aid; Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade; Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon the rending of the tomb, Then the scattering of all shadows And the end of toil and gloom. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH

Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes! See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day! 2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn: See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on every side arise Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed His Word, His saving power remains; Thy realm shall last, thine own Messiah reigns! Amen. Used With Tune: RUSSIAN HYMN
