LyicsGlorious things of thee are spokne,
Zion, city of our God;
He, whose word can ne'er be broken,
Chose thee for his own abode,
Lord, thy church is still thy dwelling,
Still is precious in thy sight,
Judah's temple far excelling,
Beaming with the gospel's light.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen!
On the Rock of ages founded.
What can shake her sure repose
With salvation's wall surrounded
She can smile at all her foes.
See the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply her sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove.
Round her habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near.
Glorious things of thee ore spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He, whose word can ne'er be broken,
Chose thee for his won abode.
