It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, and drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary rest. 3 Dear name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding place, my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, my Prophet, Priest, and King, my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but, when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 6 Till then I would thy love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of thy name refresh my soul in death.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,322 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:1-6 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 mayest 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, 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 hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering -- 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 God gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the world's best pleasure, all its boasted pomp or show: solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.

The Bridegroom comes; awake, your lamps with gladness take, Alleluia! and for his marriage feast prepare, for ye must go and meet him there.' 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and all her heart with joy is springing; she wakes, she rises from her gloom; for the Lord comes down all-glorious, the strong in grace, in truth victorious; her Star is risen, her Light is come! Now come, O blessèd One, God's own belovèd Son, Alleluia! We follow to the festal hall to sup with you, the Lord of all. 3 All the heavens and earth adore you, and saints and angels sing before you, with harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Zion's gates of pearl before us resound as angels sing in chorus and lead us to your dazzling throne. No mortal eye nor ear can comprehend or bear such great glory; but we rejoice and sing the song, Alleluia! through ages long.
