Glorious things of thee are spoken, Holy 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’st smile at all thy foes.

Blest constituents of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer’s blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. ’Tis His love His people raises Over self to reign as kings: And as priests, His worthy praises, Each his thankful offering brings.

Savior, 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 worldling’s pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion’s members know.
Truly one of our most joyous hymns of the faith. Zion was God's abode in the Old Testament. The church is his abode in the New Testament. Sing this song with the church in mind.
Missing one of my favorite verses:
Round each habitation hov’ring, see the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov’ring, showing that the Lord is near!
Thus deriving from our banner light by night and shade by day;
Safe they feed upon the manna which He gives them when they pray.
One of the great hymns that the slave-trader, turned preacher, John Newton composed and published along with his friend, William Cowper was, “Glorious things of Thee are spoken. ”
In the first stanza: God’s Holy city having its foundation upon the ‘Rock of Ages’ and its walls surrounded by Christ’s salvation. This being God’s dwelling place!
The second stanza: Out of Zion flows streams of living water Whose source springs from the love of God. His believers are supplied and satisfied. This river that quenches our thirst is compared to the Lord Jesus supplying us with His grace, as the water of life.
In the third stanza the believers become the constituents of this glorious city; being redeemed by His blood and raised by His love to become kings and priests of God.
The fourth stanza the believers, members of Zion, glory in His name as they rise above derision and pity the world may have for them and as the pleasures of this world fade away for the solid joy and lasting treasure of being a member of this Holy city.
It was put to a musical tune by Franz-Josef Haydn, the famous Austrian composer. Haydn had written the music in celebration of the Emperor of Austria, it was used in conjunction with Austria‘s national anthem. Later, it was also adapted as a tune for the German national anthem. The hymn that Newton wrote, remains hundreds of years later, one of the great songs of worship in the church.
At the end of the Bible a wonderful city is revealed, a city of gold with twelve pearl gates and with a foundation of precious stones. In the early days of our gospel preaching we referred to this city as a heavenly mansion and encouraged people to believe in Jesus in order to flee from the lake of fire and go to this mansion. Eventually, however, we saw that this wonderful city was not a heavenly mansion. Revelation 21:10 says that John saw the holy city "coming down out of heaven from God." In that day, if we go to heaven, we will find that the "mansion" has come down to the earth. This revelation caused us to begin to see the real significance of the New Jerusalem (see Hymns, #971-985). Eventually, we saw that the end of the Bible and the beginning of the Bible reflect each other. In Genesis 2 there is a garden with a tree and a flowing river, and there are the precious materials. Moreover, there is a man who marries a bride. In Revelation 21 and 22 there are the same items, but the garden has become a city. In the beginning there was a garden, not built but natural and created by God. At the end of the Bible, however, the garden is transformed into a city. In this city also there are the tree of life and the river (Rev. 22:1-2). This city is built with gold, pearl, and precious stones, which are the same as the materials in Genesis 2. Moreover, the city itself is the bride, and the Triune God in the Lamb is the Husband (Rev. 21:9-10). They are a universal couple.
