The hymn has often been set to the music of Joseph Haydn's "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" (known as "Austria" in English-speaking circles){{efn-lr |The hymns "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" and '"Deutschlandlied" have repeated bars. These are not played in "Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken".}} or Arthur Sullivan's "Lux Eoi".[2][3] In recent decades a third tune, Abbot's Leigh, has risen to prominence. This was written for this text by The Reverend Cyril Vincent Taylor in 1942 while he was a producer of Religious Broadcasting at the BBC and stationed at the village of Abbots Leigh. HistoryThe hymn was written by Newton after he had asked for assistance from his friend and neighbour, classical writer William Cowper, while he was the Church of England parish priest of Olney Church.[2] With Cowper's assistance, Newton was able to publish the Olney Hymns Hymnal, which included "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken", in 1779.[4] The hymn is based upon Psalm 87:3 and Isaiah 33:20–21.[2] "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" is considered to be Newton's best composition and was the only joyful hymn in the publication.[2] The hymn has five verses of eight lines each.[1] The hymn was a favourite of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. He is noted to have once awakened his soldiers in 1862 while they were in the Shenandoah Valley by singing "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" out of tune.[5] TuneBecause of the practice of singing the hymn to a tune used for other purposes it has sometimes elicited unusual reactions. During the Second World War in an Oflag prisoner of war camp, a Protestant service was interrupted during the singing of "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" by the camp guards singing Sei gesegnet ohne Ende, because the hymn was set to the same tune.[6] The same Haydn melody is employed in the German national anthem formerly known, popularly, as Deutschland über alles — properly titled Das Lied der Deutschen or the Deutschlandlied, the third verse of which is the national anthem of present-day Germany. For some people, using this particular tune for the hymn (often named in various hymnals as "Austria") is often controversial as, despite the fact that it dates back to the 18th century, it raises reminders of Nazi Germany.[7] Cyril Vincent Taylor's Abbot's Leigh tune was written in response to complaints received by the BBC during the war.[8][9] {{wikisource|Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken}}Below, a setting of the hymn as it appears in the 1920 The Army and Navy Hymnal:{{efn-lr|The original version of the tune, the German anthem and other hymnbooks show a two beat anacrusis starting the tune.

Presbyterians often sing only three verses of the hymn.[1] It is also used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[11] John Rogers Thomas also used the words for one of his sacred songs[12] from Hymns of the Church.Footnotes{{notelist-lr}}References1. ^1 2 {{cite book | first = Madeleine Forell | last = Marshall | title =Common Hymnsense| publisher = GIA Publications | edition = | year = 1995| isbn = 0-94105069-6 | pages = 89–93}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite book | first =Kenneth W. | last =Osbeck | title =101 More Hymn Stories | volume = 2 | publisher = Kregel Publications | year = 1985 | isbn = 0-82549328-5 | pages = 94–95}} 3. ^{{cite book | author = Methodist Conference | title = The Methodist Hymn-Book with Tunes | publisher = Novello & Co | year = 1933 | chapter = Hymn 706 | edition = 1964, 34th | place = London}} 4. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/g/l/o/glorious.htm |title= Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken |publisher= Hymn time |accessdate= 2014-01-10}} 5. ^{{cite book | first =William J. | last = Petersen | title = The Complete Book of Hymns | publisher =Tyndale House Publishers | year = 2014 | isbn = 1-41433140-1 | page = 270}} 6. ^{{cite book | first = Michael Francis | last = Snape | title =The Royal Army Chaplains' Department, 1796-1953: Clergy Under Fire| publisher = Boydell Press | year = 2008| isbn = 1-84383346-8 | page = 318}} 7. ^{{cite book | first =Jane Parker | last = Huber | title =A Singing Faith | publisher = Westminster John Knox Press | edition = | year = 1987| isbn = 0-66424055-0 | page = 108}} 8. ^{{cite web|title= Abbot's Leigh|url= http://www.hymnary.org/tune/abbots_leigh_taylor |publisher= Hymnary|accessdate= 26 February 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|title= Composer: Cyril Vincent Taylor|url= http://www.hymnswithoutwords.com/hymns/Category:Cyril_Vincent_Taylor|publisher=Hymns Without Words|accessdate= 26 February 2018}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=Hymns in the Fourth Edition of the St. Michael Hymnal |url= https://stmichaelhymnal.com/files/Hymns%20in%20the%20St.%20Michael%20Hymnal%20-%20Fourth%20Edition.pdf |date= 2011-06-28|accessdate= 2018-06-08|publisher=St. Boniface Parish in Lafayette, Indiana, USA}} 11. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/glorious-things-of-thee-are-spoken?lang=eng |title=Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken |publisher= LDS Church |date= 2012-02-21 |accessdate= 2014-01-10}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url= https://www.loc.gov/item/sm1870.03295/ |title=Glorious things of thee are spoken|year= 1870|website= LoC |access-date= July 2, 2016}} External links
