Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God! He whose word cannot be broken formed you for his own 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 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your 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. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

Turn Back, O Mortal

Author: Clifford Bax; Barbara Olmsted Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Community First Line: Turn back, O mortal, quit thy foolish ways Lyrics: 1 Turn back, O mortal, quit thy foolish ways. Old now is earth, and none may count her days, Yet thou, its child, whose head is crowned with flame Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim, "Turn back, O mortal, quit thy foolish ways." 2 Earth might be fair, and people glad and wise. Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep. Would they but wake from out their haunted sleep, Earth shall be fair, and people glad and wise. 3 Earth shall be fair, and all its people one, Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done! Now, even now, once more from earth to sky Peals forth in joy the old, undaunted cry, "Earth shall be fair, and all its people one." Used With Tune: OLD HUNDRED TWENTY-FOURTH
