Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,311 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names and Places Zion; Songs of Zion 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 may'st 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 God gives them when they pray.
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 world's best pleasures,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

Let her richest blessings come;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Guard us to that holy home.
Great Redeemer, Great Redeemer,
Bring, O bring the welcome day!
Bring, O bring the welcome day!
3 When the earth begins to tremble,
Bid our fearful thoughts be still;
When thy judgments spread destruction,
keep us safe on Zion's hill,
Singing praises, Singing praises,
Songs of glory unto thee,
Songs of glory unto thee.
Amen. Scripture: Exodus 15:13 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

Now a glorious morn is breaking
For the people of his choice.

And within her walls rejoice.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
And within her walls rejoice.

From celestial worlds on high,
And to man their pow’r extending,
That the Saints may homeward fly.

For your coming Lord is nigh.

Still in error’s gloomy ways?

Justifies no vain delays.
