Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,288 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Blessed inhabitants of Zion, washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God; 'tis his love his people raises in his courts to reign as kings, and as priests, his solemn praises each for a thankoff'ring brings. 3 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the worldling's pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show, solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.

Amen. Used With Tune: NUREMBERG

God has brought forth Israel into joy from sadness, loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke Jacob’s sons and daughters; led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters. 2 ’Tis the spring of souls today: Christ has burst his prison, and from three days’ sleep in death as a sun has risen. All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from the Light to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Neither could the gates of death, nor the tomb’s dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal, hold you as a mortal: but today, among your own, you appear, bestowing your deep peace, which evermore passes human knowing. 4 Alleluia! Now we cry to our Lord immortal, who, triumphant, burst the bars of the tomb’s dark portal; Alleluia! With the Son, God the Father praising; Alleluia! Yet a gain to the Spirit raising.
