Solid Joys

My favorite hymn is Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken, at least I think so. I want it sung at my funeral, along with For All the Saints. I have always loved the last lines of the last verse: Fading is the worlding's pleasure/All his boasted pomp and show/Solid joys and lasting treasure/None but Zion's children know. I like that idea, the idea of our joys being solid.
