Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #483 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Descants and Fauxbourdons Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; One whose word cannot be broken formed thee for a wrong 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 will their thirst 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. Thus they march, the pillar leading – light by night and shade by day – daily on the manna feeding which God gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city we, through grace, a part may claim, let the world deride or pity, we will glory in thy name. Fading is all worldly pleasure, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Exodus 13:21-22 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

From the fears that long have bound us, free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days, for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children’s warring madness, bend our pride to thy control; shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal, lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christlike graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee, that we fail not them nor thee! 5 Save us from weak resignation to the evils we deplore; let the search for thy salvation be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, serving thee whom we adore, serving thee whom we adore. Languages: English Tune Title: CWN RHONDDA
