Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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\xe2\x80\x99s walls surrounded, Thou mayst smile at all thy foes. [Verse 2] 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 to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. [Verse 3] Blest constituents of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer\xe2\x80\x99s blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. \xe2\x80\x99Tis His love His people raises Over self to reign as kings: And as priests, His worthy praises, Each his thankful offering brings. [Verse 4] Saviour, if of Zion\xe2\x80\x99s city, I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name; Fading is the worldling\xe2\x80\x99s pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion\xe2\x80\x99s children know.
