There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: Love For Christ or God 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 forgiv'n, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heav'n, 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 heav'n, 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. Amen. Scripture: Romans 5:8 Used With Tune: MEDITATION

But O my friend, my friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend. 3 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine: never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine. This is my friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Scripture: Matthew 27:32-56 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. 5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed, In exile far, with bitter grief, I turn my thoughts to Thy abode For consolation and relief, For consolation and relief. 6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep, While raging storms Thy judgments tell; The angry billows o'er me leap, The waves of sorrow near me swell, The waves of sorrow near me swell. 7 Thought troubles surge, yet through the day The Lord His gracious help will give, And in the night my heart shall pray And sing to Him in Whom I live, And sing to Him in Whom I live. 8 To God my Rock I cry and say, O why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning on my way, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee? 9 With anguish as from piercing sword Reproach of bitter foes I hear, While day by day, with taunting word Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer, Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer. 10 O why art thou cast down, my soul, And why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. Scripture: Psalm 42 Used With Tune: BACA
