There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 695 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:3 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. 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.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 643 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 Lyrics: 1 He dies! the friend of sinners dies; Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; A solemn darkness veils the skies; A sudden trembling shakes the ground. 2 Here's love and grief beyond degree: The Lord of glory dies for men: But lo! what sudden joys we see, Jesus, the dead, revives again! 3 The rising God forsakes the tomb; Up to his Father's court he flies; Cherubic legions guard him home, And shout him welcome to the skies. 4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliverer reigns; Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell, And led the tyrant, Death, in chains. 5 Say, Live forever, glorious King, Born to redeem, and strong to save! Where now, O Death, where is thy sting? And where thy victory, boasting Grave? Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension; The Dying Christ
