Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #71 (1957) Refrain First Line: Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
Outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
Refrain:
O dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Hi, too;
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.
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. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain) Topics: Christ Death of; Christ Passion; Recessionals Languages: English Tune Title: GREEN HILL
