Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,314 hymnals 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 will their thirst 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 on their way. 4 Savior, 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.

Lord of battles, God of armies, he has gained the victory; he who on the cross did suffer, he who from the grave arose, he has vanquished sin and Satan, he by death has spoiled his foes. 3 You have raised our human nature in the clouds to God's right hand; there we sit in heav'nly places, there with you in glory stand: Jesus reigns, adored by angels, man with God is on the throne; mighty Lord, in your ascension we by faith behold our own.

Lord of earth as well as angels, thou art ev'ry creature’s theme; Lord of ev'ry land and nation, Ancient of Eternal Days, sounded through the wide creation be thy just and endless praise. 2 For the grandeur of your nature, grand beyond a seraph’s thought; for the wonders of creation, works with skill and kindness wrought; for thy providence that gtoverns through thine empire's wide domain, wings an angel, guides a sparrow: blessed by thy gentle reign. 4 But thy rich, thy free redemption, dark through brightness all along; thought is poor, and poor expression: who dare sing that wondrous song? Brightness of the Father’s glory, shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence; sing the Lord who came to die. 4 From the highest throne of glory to the cross of deepest woe, all to ransom guilty captives! Flow my praise, forever flow Go, return, immortal Savior; leave thy footstool, claim thy throne; thence return, and reign forever; be the kingdom all thine own!

Lest the Church neglect its mission, and the gospel go unheard, help us witness to your purpose with renewed integrity; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: 'In my name baptize and teach.' That the world may trust your promise, life abundant meant for each, give us all new fervour, draw us closer in community; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: 'This my body, this my blood.' Let us all, for earth's true glory, daily lift life heavenward, asking that the world around us share your children's liberty; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure; 'Father, what they do, forgive.' Yet we hoard as private treasure all that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us to a just society; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: 'I am with you to the end.' Faith and hope and love restoring, may we serve as you intend, and, amid the cares that claim us, hold in mind eternity; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry.
