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 wall surrounded
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

See the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love
Well supply thy sons and daughters
And all fear and want remove;
Who can faint when such a river
Ever flows their thirst to 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;
Blest inhabitants of Zion
Washed in the Redeemer s blood;
Jesus whom their souls rely on
Makes them kings and priests to God.

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.
