High Over the Hills the Mountains Rise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Lyrics: 1 High o'er the hills the mountains rise, Their summits tower toward the skies; But far above them I must dwell, Or sink beneath the flames of hell. 2 Oh, God! forbid that I should fall And lose my everlasting all; But may I rise on wings of love, And soar to the blest world above. 3 Although I walk the mountains high, Ere long my body low must lie, And in some lonesome place must rot, And by the living be forgot. 4 There it must lie till that great day, When Gabriel's awful trump shall say, Arise, the judgment day is come, When all must hear their final doom. 5 If not prepared, then I must go Down to eternal pain and woe, With devils there I must remain, And never more return again. 6 But if prepared, Oh, blessed thought! I'll rise above the mountain's top, And there remain for evermore On Canaan's peaceful, happy shore. 7 Oh! when I think of that blest world, Where all God's people dwell in love, I oft times long with them to be And dwell in heaven eternally. 8 Then will I sing God's praises there, Who brought me through my troubles here I'll sing, and be forever blest, Find sweet and everlasting rest. The Southern Harmony, 1835
