Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,299 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed you for his own abode: on the rock of ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? with salvation's walls surrounded you may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters springing from eternal love! well supply your 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 they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name: fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.
