Author: John Newton Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #165 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27 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, while such a river
Ever flows their thirst t'assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 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 is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know. Topics: Heaven Jerusalem & Zion Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
