Glorious Things

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Christ in Song #911 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal City of God First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God: He whose word can not be broken Formed thee for His own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake Thy sure repose? With salvation's wall surrounded, Thou mayst 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 and want remove; Who can faint when such a river Ever flows their thirst to 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; Blest inhabitants of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer's blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 4. Saviour, if 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.

This Same Jesus

Author: Havergal Hymnal: Christ in Song #913 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: "This same Jesus!" O how sweetly Lyrics: 1. "This same Jesus!" O how sweetly Fall those words upon the ear, Like the swell of far off music, In a night watch still and clear, He who healed the hopeless leper, He who dried the widow's tear, He who changed to health and gladness Helpless, suff'ring, trembling fear. 2. "This same Jesus!" When the vision Of that last and awful day Bursts upon the prostrate spirit, Like a midnight lightning ray, May we lift our hearts, adoring "This same Jesus," loved and known As our own most gracious Saviour, Seated on the great white throne, 3. He himself, and "not another," He for whom our hearts have yearned Thro' long years of twilight waiting, To his ransomed ones returned; For this word, O Lord, we bless thee, Bless our Master's changeless name; Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus Christ is still the same.
