Text marked as lyrics
3 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 their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them on their way. 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose Word cannot be broken formed you for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, you may smile at all your foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply your sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age.
