- 1Glorious 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 may'st smile at all thy foes.
- 2See 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.
- 3Savior, since 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.
- 4Amen.
