Beyond the starry skies, Far as the eternal hills

Author: Turner Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 Beyond the starry skies, Far as the eternal hills, There, in boundless world of light, Our great Redeemer dwells. 2 Around him angels fair, In countless armies shine; And ever in exalted lays They offer songs divine. 3 Hail, Prince of life! they cry, Whose unexampled love Moved thee to quit those glorious realms And royalties above. 4 And when he stooped to earth, And suffered rude disdain, They cast their honors at his feet, And waited in his train. 5 They saw him on the cross, While darkness veiled the skies; And when he burst the gates of death, They saw the Conqueror rise. 6 They thronged his chariot wheels, And bore him to his throne; They swept their golden harps, and sung-- The glorious work is done!

Fair shines the morning star

Author: Montgomery Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 Fair shines the morning star: The silver trumpets sound, Their notes re-echoing far, While dawns the day around: Joy to the slave; the slave is free; It is the year of jubilee. 2 Prisoners of hope, in gloom And silence left to die, With Christ's unfolding tomb, Your portals open fly: Rise with your Lord, he sets you free; It is the year of jubilee. 3 Ye, who yourselves have sold For debts to justice due, Ransomed, but not with gold, He gave himself for you! The blood of Christ hath made you free; It is the year of jubilee. 4 Captives of sin and shame, O'er earth and ocean, hear An angel's voice proclaim The Lord's accepted year; Let Jacob rise, be Israel free; It is the year of jubilee.

Scripture: Jude 20

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 218 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Hearts of stone, relent, relent! Break, by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood; Sinful soul, what has thou done? Murdered God's eternal Son! 2 Yes, our sins have done the deed, Drove the nails that fixed him there; Crowned with thorns his sacred head, Pierced him with a soldier's spear; Made his soul a sacrifice; For a sinful world he dies. 3 Will you let him die in vain? Still to death pursue your Lord? Open tear his wounds again, Trample on his precious blood? No! with all my sins I'll part: Saviour, take my broken heart.

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 O thou, who hast redeemed of old, And bidd'st me of thy strength lay hold, And be at peace with thee, Help me thy benefits to own, And hear me tell what thou hast done, O dying Lamb! for me. 2 Love, only love, thy heart inclined, And brought thee, Saviour of mankind, Down from thy throne above; Love made my God a Man of grief, Distressed thee sore for my relief: Oh, mystery of love! 3 As thou hast loved and died for me So grant me, Saviour, love to thee, And gladly I resign Whate'er I have, whate'er I am: My life be all with thine the same, And all thy death be mine. Scripture: Isaiah 27:5

Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion's gate

Author: Crabbe Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion's gate; There, till mercy speaks within, Knock, and weep, and watch, and wait: Knock--he knows the sinner's cry; Weep--he loves the mourner's tears; Watch, for saving grace is nigh; Wait, till the heavenly grace appears. 2 Hark, it is the Saviour's voice! Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest! Now within the gate rejoice, Safe, and owned, and bought, and blest: Safe from all the lures of vice; Owned by joys the contrite know; Bought by love, and life the price; Blessed the mighty debt to owe. 3 Holy pilgrim! what for thee In a world like this remains? From thy guarded breast shall flee Fear, and shame, and doubts, and pains: Fear, the hope of heaven shall fly; Shame, from glory's view retire; Doubt, in full belief shall die; Pain, in endless bliss expire.

Author: Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 The swift-declining day, How fast its moments fly! While evening's broad and gloomy shade Gains on the western sky. 2 Ye mortals! mark its pace, And use the hours of light; For know, its Maker can command At once eternal night. 3 Give glory to the Lord, Who rules the whirling sphere; Submissive at his footstool bow, And seek salvation there. 4 Then shall new luster break Through death's impending gloom, And lead you to unchanging light, In your celestial home.
