Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 710 hymnals 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. Topics: Holy Week; Christ--Atonement; Christ--Love of; Christ--Sacrifice of; Christian year--Holy Week; Love for Christ Scripture: Matthew 27:32-56 Used With Tune: GREEN HILL
