GLORIOUS THINGS OF THEE (MHB 760); SIR. JOHN NEWTON

"Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" (often listed as Hymn 760 in the Methodist Hymn Book/MHB and 731 in the United Methodist Hymnal) is a beloved classic written by Sir John Newton. Written in 1779, this majestic hymn draws heavily on Old Testament imagery (like Psalm 87 and Isaiah 33) to celebrate the church as the unshakable "City of God". It contrasts the fleeting, empty pleasures of the world with the eternal grace, security, and joy found in Christ #choir #hymns #medicalheralds #chorale
