Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Christian Worship #87C (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: City of God Lyrics: 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, 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 springing from 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 t'assuage— grace, which, like the LORD, the giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the LORD is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day, daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I thro' grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEAN

Unless the Lord constructs the house

Author: Mollie Knight Hymnal: The Book of Praise #88 (1997) Topics: City / City of God Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house, the builders work in vain; the Lord alone designs and builds foundations that remain. 2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch, the city cannot stand; the sentry guards the gates in vain without God's mighty hand. 3 In vain you labour night and day, by constant care oppressed; the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs and grants them sleep and rest. 4 The Lord designed the family, providing earthly love; our children are God's heritage - a gift from heaven above. 5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand are those who bear our name; with them we face a hostile world assured and free from shame.

A voice astounds us Lyrics: 1 “Sleepers, wake!” A voice astounds us, the shout of rampart-guards surrounds us: “Awake, Jerusalem, arise!” Midnight’s peace their cry has broken, their urgent summons clearly spoken: “The time has come, O maidens wise! Rise up, and give us light; the Bridegroom is in sight. Hallelujah! Your lamps prepare and hasten there, that you the wedding feast may share.” 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing; her heart with joyful hope is springing, she wakes and hurries through the night. Forth he comes, her Bridegroom glorious in strength of grace, in truth victorious: her star is risen, her light grows bright. Now come, most worthy Lord, God’s Son, incarnate Word. Hallelujah! We follow all and heed your call to come into the banquet hall. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore you; let saints and angels sing before you, as harps and cymbals swell the sound. Twelve great pearls, the city’s portals: through them we stream to join the immortals as we with joy your throne surround. No eye has known the sight, no ear heard such delight: Hallelujah! Therefore we sing to greet our King; for ever let our praises ring. Scripture: Isaiah 52:7-10 Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF
