Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725–1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,295 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God! He whose word cannot be broken Chose thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake our sure repose? With salvation’s wall surrounded, Thou may’st smile on all thy foes. 2. See! the streams of living waters, Springing from celestial love, Well supply thy sons and daughters And all fear of drought remove. Round each habitation hov’ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov’ring, Showing that the Lord is near. 3. Blest inhabitants of Zion, Purchased by the Savior’s blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. While in love his Saints he raises, With himself to reign as King, All, as priests, his solemn praises For thank-off’rings freely bring.
