8.7.8.7.D. - Iambic Tunes1.
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 walls surrounded,
Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.
2.
See! the streams of living waters,
Spring form 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.
3.
Savior, if in Zion’s city,
Thou enrol my humble name
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in the shame.
Fading is the sinner’s pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know.
Amen
