The Summons
Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 130 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord who reigns above
and keeps his court below;
praise the holy God of love
and all his greatness show;
praise him for his noble deeds;
praise him for his matchless power;
him from whom all good proceeds
let earth and heaven adore.
2 Celebrate th’eternal God
with harp and psaltery,
timbrels soft and cymbals loud
in this high praise agree;
praise him, every tuneful string;
all the reach of heavenly art,
all the powers of music bring,
the music of the heart.
3 God, in whom they move and live,
let every creature sing,
glory to their Maker give,
and homage to their King.
Hallowed be his name beneath,
as in heaven on earth adored;
praise the Lord in every breath,
let all things praise the Lord.

Author: Priscilla J. Owens, 1829-1907 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 554 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land,
climb the steeps and cross the waves;
onward! ’tis our Lord’s command:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
2 Send it on the rolling tide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Tell to sinners far and wide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing, you islands of the sea!
Echo back, you ocean caves!
Earth shall keep her jubilee:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
3 Sing above the battle strife:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
By his death and endless life:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing it softly through the gloom,
when the heart for mercy craves;
sing in triumph o’er the tomb:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
4 Give the winds a mighty voice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free,
highest hills and deepest caves;
this our song of victory:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

To the Hills I Lift My Eyes
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To the hills I lift my eyes,
the everlasting hills.
Streaming forth in fresh supplies,
my soul the Spirit feels;
will he not his help afford?
Help, while yet I ask, is giv'n;
God comes down, the God and Lord
who made both earth and heav'n.
2 Faithful soul, pray, always pray,
and still in God confide;
he your stumbling steps shall stay,
and shall not let you slide;
safe from known or secret roes,
free from sin and Satan's hold,
when the flesh, earth, hell oppose,
he'll keep you in his fold.
3 See the Lord, your keeper, stand
omnipotently near.
Now he holds you by the hand,
and banishes your fear;
shadows with his wings your head,
guards from all impending harms;
round you and beneath are spread
the everlasting arms.
4 Christ shall bless your going out,
shall bless your coming in;
kindly compass you about,
till you are saved from sin.
Like your spotless Master, you,
filled with wisdom, love, and pow'r,
holy, pure, and perfect now,
both now and evermore. Topics: Trust and Guidance; Assurance; Blessing; Christ--Protection by; God--Protection by; Trust and Confidence Scripture: Psalm 121 Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

God of unexampled grace
When Descending from the Sky
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When descending from the sky
The Bridegroom shall appear;
And the solemn midnight cry,
Shall call professors near:
How the sound our hearts will damp!
How will shame o’erspread each face!
If we only have a lamp,
Without the oil of grace.
2. Foolish virgins then will wake
And seek for a supply;
But in vain the pains they take
To borrow or to buy:
Then with those they now despise,
Earnestly they’ll wish to share;
But the best, among the wise,
Will have no oil to spare.
3. Wise are they, and truly blest,
Who then shall ready be
But despair will seize the rest,
And dreadful misery:
Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt,
Though in lies our trust we put;
Now our lamp of hope is out,
The door of mercy shut.
4. If they then presume to plead,
Lord open to us now;
We on earth have heard and prayed,
And with thy saints did bow:
He will answer from his throne,
Though you with My people mixed,
Yet to Me you ne’er were known,
Depart, your doom is fixed.
5. O that none who worship here
May hear that word, Depart!
Lord impress a godly fear
On each professor’s heart:
Help us, Lord, to search the camp,
Let us not ourselves beguile;
Trusting to a dying lamp
Without a stock of oil. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

Celebrate Immanuel's Name
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Celebrate Immanuel’s name,
the Prince of life and peace.
God with us, our lips proclaim,
our faithful hearts confess.
God is in our flesh revealed;
Heav’n and earth in Jesus join.
Mortal with Immortal filled,
and human with divine.
2. Fullness of the deity in
Jesus’ body dwells,
Dwells in all His saints and me
when God His Son reveals.
Father, manifest Thy Son;
breathe the true incarnate Word.
In our inmost souls make
known the presence of the Lord.
3. Let the Spirit of our Head
through every member flow;
By our Lord inhabited,
we then Immanuel know.
Then He doth His name express;
God in us we truly prove,
Find with all the life of grace
and all the power of love. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Jesus Leaves His Throne On High
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
1 Jesus leaves His throne on high,
To save a ruined race;
Lo, He condescends to die,
And take the sinner’s place:
In deep slumbers see Him borne
To the tomb, but soon He wakes;
On the third, the glorious morn,
Death’s iron bands He breaks.
2 Soldiers at the entry stand,
The sacred place to guard;
But behold, the time’s at hand,
The tomb must be unbarred:
Angels roll the stone away,
While the watchers’ eyes are sealed,
Death reluctant yields his prey,
And Jesus stands revealed.
3 Raise, ye saints, your joyful eyes,
The victory is yours;
Jesus now above the skies,
Your endless bliss secures:
He the first-fruits from the grave,
Gives a pledge of all to come:
Trust in Him, whose power to save
Shall bring you safely home.

Jesus Leaves His Throne On High
Stop, Poor Sinner, Stop and Think
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 249 hymnals First Line: Stop, poor sinner! stop and think Lyrics: 1. Stop, poor sinner! stop and think
Before you farther go!
Will you sport upon the brink
Of everlasting woe?
Once again I charge you, stop!
For, unless you warning take,
Ere you are aware, you drop
Into the burning lake!
2. Say, have you an arm like God,
That you His will oppose?
Fear you not that iron rod
With which He breaks His foes?
Can you stand in that dread day,
When He judgment shall proclaim,
And the earth shall melt away
Like wax before the flame?
3. Pale faced death will quickly come
To drag you to His bar;
Then to hear your awful doom
Will fill you with despair:
All your sins will round you crowd,
Sins of a blood-crimson dye;
Each for vengeance crying loud,
And what can you reply?
4. Though your heart be made of steel,
Your forehead lined with brass,
God at length will make you feel,
He will not let you pass:
Sinners then in vain will call,
Though they now despise His grace,
Rocks and mountains on us fall,
And hide us from His face!
5. But as yet there is a hope
You may His mercy know;
Though His arm is lifted up
He still forbears the blow:
’Twas for sinners Jesus died,
Sinners He invites to come;
None who come shall be denied,
He says, There still is room. Used With Tune: WARNING Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 2
