Glorious Things

Author: John Newton Appears in 1,318 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal City of God First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God: He whose word can not 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 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 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 hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, 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. Saviour, if of Zion's city I, thro' 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.

See, the Lord appears in view; Heav'n and earth before him fly; Rise, ye saints, he comes for you; Rise, to meet him in the sky, Rise, to meet him in the sky. 4. Go and dwell with him above, Where no foe can e'er molest; Happy in the Saviour's love, Ever blessing, ever blest, Ever blessing, ever blest. Used With Tune: HENDON

He shall reign from pole to pole With supreme, unbounded sway; He shall reign, when like a scroll Yonder heav'ns have pass'd away: Then beneath his iron rod, Man's last enemy shall fall; Hallelujah! to our God, Lo, he comes to conquer all.

There on sunlit hills and mountains, Golden beams serenely glow; Purling streams and crystal fountains, On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow. 5 Watchman, see, the land is nearing, With its vernal fruits and flow'rs; On, just yonder, O how cheering! Bloom forever Eden's bow'rs. Hark! the choral strains are ringing. Wafted on the balmy air; See the millions, hear them singing, Soon the pilgrim will be there. Used With Tune: DAWNING
