Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,288 hymnals Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; God, 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 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 deriving from our banner light by night and shade by day, safe we feed upon the manna which God gives us when we pray. 4. Blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in our Redeemer's blood; Jesus, whom our souls rely on, makes us monarchs, priests to God. Us, by his great love, he raises, rulers over self to reign, and as priests his solemn praises we for thankful offering bring. Scripture: Exodus 13:22 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

All Who Love and Serve Your City

Author: Erik Routley Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Christian Concern Society and City Lyrics: 1 All who love and serve your city, All who bear its daily stress, All who cry for peace and justice, All who curse and all who bless. 2 In your day of loss and sorrow, In your day of helpless strife, Honor, peace and love retreating, Seek the Lord, who is your life. 3 In your day of wealth and plenty, Wasted work and wasted play, Call to mind the word of Jesus, 'Work ye yet while it is day.' 4 For all days are days of judgment, And the Lord is waiting still, Drawing near to men who spurn him, Offering peace from Calvary's hill. 5 Risen Lord, shall yet the city, Be the city of despair? Come today, our Judge, our Glory, Be its name, 'The Lord is there!' Scripture: Luke 19:41 Used With Tune: BIRABUS
