1 GLORIOUS things of thee are spoken, 1 HEAR what God the Lord hath spoken:
Zion, city of our God:
He, whose word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for his own abode.

2 On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy focs.

8 See! the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove.

4 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.

"Oh my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you.

HERMON. C.M.
