"The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God.... The Lord shall count, when He writeth up the people, that this man was born there (Selah), as well as the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee" (Psalm 87:2-7). "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation" (Isaiah 12:2,3).
What glorious things now, O city of God,
Are spoken in heaven of you!
They aren't the things that the proud would applaud,
Nor things the elite would pursue.
The glorious things that our Lord speaks about,
The things of which heaven now sings,
Are souls that are saved, and sinners called out
To be washed in His heavenly springs!
The glorious things are the names that are written
In heaven, in God's Book of Life!
The songs they are singing are of the Lamb smitten,
Victorious for us in the strife!
We're drawing, O Lord, from the well of salvation,
And plumbing the depths of Your love!
What glorious things every people and nation
Are singing in Zion above!
