Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken
melody

     C                              G7            C              
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
    
   F           D7        G         
Zion, city of our God!

    C                                     G7       C            
He, whose Word cannot be broken,

 F                              D7      G     

Formed thee for His own abode.

     G                    Dm7    G             
On the Rock of Ages founded,

   C              Am          D7      G        

What can shake thy sure repose?
     Am    Am7         F           C               
With salvation’s walls surrounded,

    G                 C               G    C       

Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.

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 flows their thirst t’assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.

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 they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.

 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.
