Текст песни Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken - Huddersfield Choral Society

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 smile at all thy 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

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 are the world's vain pleasures
All their boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasures
None but Zion's children know
