541 AUSTRIAN HYMN 8.7.8.7.D. JOSEPH HAYDN, 1797 4 Glo-rious things of thee are spo-ken, Zion, city of He whose word cannot be bro-ken Formed thee for His our God; ges found-ed, What can shake thy sure re-pose? With sal-va-tion's walls sur-rounded, Thou mayst smile at all thy foes. A-men. 2 See, the streams of living waters, 3 Round each habitation hovering, Light by night, and shade by day, 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, None but Zion's children know. Rev. JOHN NEWTON, 1779 Accept the walls that hu-man hands Have raised to wor-ship Thee. A-men. 4 64 544 H. J.
