Author: Mrs. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #61b (1917) First Line: There is a green hill far away 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.
Refrain:
Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved!
And we must love Him 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 Cross of; The Godhead The Son; Substitute, Christ our Languages: English Tune Title: STEBBINS
Oh, dearly, dearly, has He loved!
