Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 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

There's a Voice in the Wilderness

Author: James Lewis Milligan Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Zion First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places, Where the Lord our God may go! 2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, Get thee up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people The coming of their King. Like the flow'rs of the field they perish, The works of men decay, The power and pomp of nations Shall pass like a dream away. 3 But the word of our God endureth, The arm of the Lord is strong; He stands in the midst of nations, And he will right the wrong. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, And fold the lambs to his breast; In pastures of peace he’ll lead them, And give to the weary rest. Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-11 Used With Tune: ASCENSION
