Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 693 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 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 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.
