1
\nGlorious things of thee are spoken,
\nZion, city of our God;
\nHe whose word cannot be broken
\nFormed thee for His own abode;
\nOn the Rock of Ages founded,
\nWhat can shake thy sure repose?
\nWith salvation’s wall surrounded,
\nThou mayest smile at all thy foes.<\/p>\n
2
\nSee the streams of living waters
\nSpringing from eternal love,
\nWell supply thy sons and daughters,
\nAnd all fear and want remove;
\nWho can faint when such a river
\nEver flows their thirst to assuage?
\nGrace, which, like the Lord, the Giver,
\nNever fails from age to age.<\/p>\n
3
\nRound each habitation hovering,
\nSee the cloud and fire appear
\nFor a glory and a covering,
\nShowing that the Lord is near;
\nBlest inhabitants of Zion,
\nWashed in the Redeemer’s blood;
\nJesus, whom their souls rely on,
\nMakes them kings and priests to God.<\/p>\n
4
\nSavior, if of Zion’s city
\nI, through grace, a member am,
\nLet the world deride or pity,
\nI will glory in Thy name;
\nFading is the worldling’s pleasure,
\nAll his boasted pomp and show;
\nSolid joys and lasting treasure
\nNone but Zion’s children know.<\/p>\n
