[Glorious things of thee are spoken]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God!
He whose word can ne'er be broken,
Form'd thee for his own abode.
With salvation's wall surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes;
On the Rock of ages founded,
Who can shake thy sure repose?
