Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #45 (1976) Refrain First Line: Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved 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 tellWhat pains He had to bear;But we believe it was for usHe 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 enoughTo pay the price of sin,He only could unlock the gateOf heaven and let us in.
