Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Praise of God 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, when 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 God gives them when they pray. 4 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 world's best pleasure, all its boasted pomp or show: solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Exodus 16:2-15 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
