Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken
text: John Newton
music: Kevin Twit

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 mayst smile at all thy foes

2. See the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love
Well supplies Thy sons and daughters,
And all fears of want removes
Who can faint while such a river,
Ever flows their thirst to quench?
Grace which like the Lord the giver,
Never fails from age to age

3. Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer’s blood
Jesus, whom their souls rely on
Makes them kings and priests to God
’Tis His love His people raises,
Over self to reign as kings
And as priests His solemn praises,
Each for a thank off’ring brings

4. Savior if of Zion’s city I, through grace, a member am
Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name
Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasure,
None but Zion’s children know
