Emmanuel Quartet : Hymns by the Book Vol 2

Review: The Emmanuel Quartet is an a cappella Gospel group that began in 1989 at the Highland Academy in Portland, TN as the Highland Academy Men's Quartet. They changed the name in 1993 and The Emmanuel Quartet was born. The quartet has toured extensively and released six excellent albums, their latest is 'Hymns by the Book II,' the second volume in their Hymns by the Book series, the book being the 11th printing of the Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal. There are 18 songs here, which include some standard favorites like 'Come Christians Join to Sing,' 'Stand Up! Stand Up for Jesus' and 'O Sacred Head Now Wounded;' others are new to us, like 'God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens,' 'My Hope is Built on Nothing Less,' 'Lord Who Dost Give to Thy Church,' 'Have Thine Own Way, Lord,' 'We Have This Hope' and 'Sevenfold Amen.' Beautiful harmonies and inspirational lyrics are here on every cut of 'Hymns by the Book.'

Songlist: Come Christians Join To Sing, I Sing the Mighty Power of God, Take My Life and Let It Be, The Lord in Zion, To God Be The Glory, He Hideth My Soul, Jesus Saves, Day By Day, My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less, What Heavenly Music, Stand Up! Stand Up for Jesus, Have Thine Own Way, Lord, Worthy, Worthy Is the Lamb, Sevenfold Amen, O Sacred Head Now Wounded

Review: For Phillip, Ryan, Tim and Joey, sweet-singing members of Deer Lodge, TN's Emmanuel Quartet, their ministry is simpleÐits all right there in 1 Chronicles: 'Sing to the Lord, aall the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.' The 11-title songlist on 'Feeling Good' speaks (or in fact sings) for itself: 'Children's Medley, 'Mighty is the Word,' 'If We Miss Heaven,' 'What More Could He Do?,' 'Give In To the Lord,' 'The Ballad of Elisha's Bones,' 'My Savior First of All,' 'Peaceful Side of Jordan,' 'A New Day,' 'We Shall Wear A Crown' and 'Twenty Three.' Ryan's rich deep bass, Tim's solid baritone, Phillip's fine tenor and Joey's soaring leads make each of these songs a joyous, inspirational winner. Don't miss 'Feeling Good!'

Songlist: Children's Medley, Mighty is the Word, If We Miss Heaven, What More Could He Do?, Give In To The Lord, The Ballad of Elisha's Bones, My Savior First Of All, Peaceful Side of Jordan, A New Day, We Shall Wear a Crown, Twenty-Three

Review: The musical ministry of Philip, Joey, Tim and Danny, Deer Lodge, TN's all male Emmanuel Quartet, is to sing the praises of God and His son, Jesus. The liner notes say, 'His hand is the hand that lay calmly on the cross as it was being nailed there for our salvation. Through the power of His Father, Jesus is offering us The Hand of Mercy.' 'The Hand of Mercy' is a collection of 13 group-arranged Contemporary Christian hymns of praise, such as 'I'll Fly Away,' 'I Want to Be Like My Lord,' 'He Was There All the Time,' 'Worthy is the Lamb,' 'Jesus Never Fails,' 'Can He Could He Would He,' the powerful 'Job,' an original written by group member Joey Davis, 'Can Jesus Be Seen in Me?,' 'One Day' and 'Immanuel.' These are joyous, feel-good, inspirational tunes that will touch and move you!
