Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken Lyrics

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 smile at all Thy foes

See, the streams of Living Waters

Apringing from eternal love

Well supply Thy 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

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 when they pray

Savior since of Zion's city

I thro' grace a member am

Let the world deride or pity

I will glory in Thy Name

Fading are the world's vain pleasures

All their boasted pomp and show

Solid joys and lasting treasures

None but Zion's children know
