Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken Hymn 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 t’ 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 ;

He who gives them daily manna,

He who listens when they cry—–

Let Him hear the loud hosanna,

Rising to His throne on high.
