Glorious things of you are spoken Zion, city of our God He whose word cannot be broken Formed you for his own abode On the Rock of Ages founded What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded You may smile at all your foes See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love Well supply your sons and daughters And all fear of want remove Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to fade? Grace which like the Lord, the Giver Never fails from age to age Blessed inhabitants of Zion Washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom your souls rely on Makes them priests and kings to God Ne'er again will be a barrier All the guilt and stain are gone Free to walk beside the Saviour In the glory of the Lord Saviour since of Zion city I through grace a member am Let the world condemn or pity I will glory in your Name Fading is the worldly pleasure All its weak pretence and show Solid joys and lasting treasure None but those of Zion know Fading is the worldly pleasure All its weak pretence and show Solid joys and lasting treasure None but those of Zion know
