Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #132 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by His precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Him, too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do. Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Cross; Jesus Passion; Jesus Passion Scripture: Hebrews 13:12 Languages: English Tune Title: HORSLEY
