Alt. 90, 328.
==Words==
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,
:Naught can shake thy sure repose;
:With Salvation's walls surrounded,
:Thou shalt triumph o'er thy foes.
2.
:Build upon this sure foundation,
:Zion shall in glory rise;
:Men shall call thy walls Salvation,
:And thy gates shall be named Praise.
:The redeemed of ev'ry nation
:Shall with joy thy glory see,
:And find rest from tribulation,
:Hope and life and peace in thee.
3.
:Then the streams of living waters,
:Springing from eternal love,
:Will supply thy sons and daughters,
:And all fear of want remove.
:Who need faint while such a river
:Ever flows their thirst t'assuage?
:Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver,
:Never fails from age to age.
4.
:Who would faint while such a prospect
:Urges on to faithfulness,
:Though thy present mournful aspect
:Seem no cause for thankfulness?
:Look not at the things beside thee;
:Those behind thee have no worth:
:Let the glorious hope before thee
:Fill thy heart with rapturous mirth.
