Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Appears in 1,292 hymnals 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 mayst 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 thy thirst to asswage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hov'ring,
See the clouds and fire appear;
For a glory and a cov'ring,
Showing that the Lord is near!
Glorious things of Thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode:
