Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,295 hymnals Scripture: James 4:13-16 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 mayest 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 will their thirst assuage --
grace which, like the Lord the Giver,
never fails from age to age?
3 Saviour, since of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy Name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
and all boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion's children know.

may hear so calm and plain
his own 'All hail', and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.

and earth her song begin,
the round world keep high triumph,
and all that is therein;

our joy that hath no end. Topics: Easter; Easter Day Year C; Easter II Year A; Easter III Year B Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Come, let us anew our journey pursue, Roll round with the year
Author: C. Wesley Meter: Irregular Appears in 510 hymnals Scripture: James 4:14 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us anew our journey pursue,

And never stand still till the Master appear.

And our talents improve,
By the patience of hope and the labor of love.
2 Our life is a dream; our time, as a stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
The arrow is flown--the moment is gone;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here.
3 Oh that each, in the day of his coming, may say,--
I have fought my way through;
I have finished the work thou didst give me to do.
Oh that each from his Lord may receive the glad word,--
Well and faithfully done!
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne. Topics: The New Year; New-Year Resolves
