There is a green hill far away

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 700 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where Christ our 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 Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved! And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do. Topics: TheChurch Year The Passion; Christ Love of; Redemption Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

We give Thee but Thine own

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 489 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be: All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 Oh, hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs, for whom the Shepherd bled, Are straying from the fold! 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, The lost to God to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er we do for Thine, O Lord, We do it unto Thee.

When I survey the wondrous cross

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,009 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
