Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like our God, the Giver, never fails from age to age? 3 'Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord in near! Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city we through grace a part may claim, Let the world deride or pity, we will glory in your name. Fading is all worldly pleasure, all earth's boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasures, none but Zion's children know.
