Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken Lyrics & Chords

By John Newton & Franz J. Hayden

(D)Glorious things of (A)thee (D)are (A)spo(D)ken, 

(G)Zi(D)on, (A)ci(D)ty of (G)our (A)God; 

(D)God, whose word can(A)not (D)be (A)bro(D)ken, 

(G)formed (D)thee (A)for his own (G)a(A)bode. 

On the Rock of (A)A(D)ges founded, 

(D)what can shake thy (E)sure (A)repose? 

(D)With sal(G)va(D)tion's (G)walls (D)sur(A)round(D)ed, 

(A)thou mayst (D)smile at all (A)thy (D)foes. 



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 will their thirst assuage? 

Grace which like the Lord, the giver, 

never fails from age to age. 



Round each habitation hovering, 

see the cloud and fire appear 

for a glory and a covering, 

showing that the Lord is near! 

Thus deriving from our banner 

light by night and shade by day, 

safe we feed upon the manna 

which God gives us when we pray. 



Blest inhabitants of Zion, 

washed in our Redeemer's blood; 

Jesus, whom our souls rely on, 

makes us monarchs, priests to God. 

Us, by his great love, he raises, 

rulers over self to reign, 

and as priests his solemn praises 

we for thankful offering bring.
