Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: God, the Creator Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
God whose word cannot be broken,
Formed you as the saints' abode;
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
You may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply your 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 Round each habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov'ring,
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 on their way.
4 Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer's blood!
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them monarchs, priests to God.
Them, by his great love, he raises,
Rulers over self to reign,
And as priests, his solemn praises
Each for thankful off'ring brings. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Now to his temple draw near,
Praise him in glad adoration!

Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee!

If with his love he befriend thee!

All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him!
Let the Amen
Sound from his people again,
Gladly for aye we adore him.

O Worship the King
Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Topics: God, the Creator First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above!
O gratefully sing God's power and love!
Our shield and defender, the ancient of days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of God's might and wonderful grace!
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
Whose chariots of might the deep thunderclouds form,
And straight is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old,
Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air; it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust and feeble as frail,
In you do we trust nor find you to fail;
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
6 O measureless might, ineffable love,
While angels delight to hymn you above,
The humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall sing to your praise. Scripture: Psalm 104:1-2 Used With Tune: HANOVER
