Hymnal: Christian Hymns #259 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Church Rock-built and secure 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 Saviour, if 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,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know. Languages: English Tune Title: MIGHTY LORD, VICTORIOUS SAVIOUR!
Glorious things of thee are spoken
