Author: Cecil F. Alexander; S. John Barathi Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15686 Refrain First Line: ஆம் அன்பாய் நம்மை நேசித்தார் Lyrics: 1 ஓர் குன்று தூர உண்டங்கே,
சுற்று சுவர் இன்றி,
நம் அன்பு நாதர் அங்கேதான்

பல்லவி:
ஆம் அன்பாய் நம்மை நேசித்தார்
ஆம் நாமும் நேசிப்போம்,
நாம் நம்பி செல்வோம் இரத்தத்தை,
அவர் சேவை செய்தே.
2 நாம் அறியோம் சொல்லலாகா,
அவரின் பாடுகள்,
நமக்காய்த்தானென்றறிவோம்
ஆம் வேதனைப்பட்டார், [பல்லவி]
3 நம்மை மன்னிக்கவே மாண்டார்,
நாம் நல்லோர் ஆகவே,
முடிவில் மோட்சம் செல்லவே
தம் இரத்தம் சிந்தினார், [பல்லவி]
4 நம் பாவம் தீர்க்க வேறொன்றும்
மற்றேதும் நன்றல்ல,
ஆம் மோட்ச வாசல் திறப்பாரே
நம்மை உள் சேர்க்கவே, [பல்லவி]

Outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
Refrain
O 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 tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]

To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven and let us in. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GREEN HILL (Stebbins)

Cecil Frances Alexander
1818 - 1895 Person Name: Cecil F. Alexander Author of "There Is a Green Hill Far Away" in The Cyber Hymnal As a small girl, Cecil Frances Humphries (b. Redcross, County Wicklow, Ireland, 1818; Londonderry, Ireland, 1895) wrote poetry in her school's journal. In 1850 she married Rev. William Alexander, who later became the Anglican primate (chief bishop) of Ireland. She showed her concern for disadvantaged people by traveling many miles each day to visit the sick and the poor, providing food, warm clothes, and medical supplies. She and her sister also founded a school for the deaf. Alexander was strongly influenced by the Oxford Movement and by John Keble's Christian Year. Her first book of poetry, Verses for Seasons, was a "Christian Year" for children. She wrote hymns based on the Apostles' Creed, baptism, the Lord's Supper, the Ten Commandments, and prayer, writing in simple language for children. Her more than four hundred hymn texts were published in Verses from the Holy Scripture (1846), Hymns for Little Children (1848), and Hymns Descriptive and Devotional ( 1858).

==================
Alexander, Cecil Frances, née Humphreys, second daughter of the late Major John Humphreys, Miltown House, co. Tyrone, Ireland, b. 1823, and married in 1850 to the Rt. Rev. W. Alexander, D.D., Bishop of Derry and Raphoe. Mrs. Alexander's hymns and poems number nearly 400. They are mostly for children, and were published in her Verses for Holy Seasons, with Preface by Dr. Hook, 1846; Poems on Subjects in the Old Testament, pt. i. 1854, pt. ii. 1857; Narrative Hymns for Village Schools, 1853; Hymns for Little Children, 1848; Hymns Descriptive and Devotional, 1858; The Legend of the Golden Prayers 1859; Moral Songs, N.B.; The Lord of the Forest and his Vassals, an Allegory, &c.; or contributed to the Lyra Anglicana, the S.P.C.K. Psalms and Hymns, Hymns Ancient & Modern, and other collections. Some of the narrative hymns are rather heavy, and not a few of the descriptive are dull, but a large number remain which have won their way to the hearts of the young, and found a home there. Such hymns as "In Nazareth in olden time," "All things bright and beautiful," "Once in Royal David's city," "There is a green hill far away," "Jesus calls us o'er the tumult," "The roseate hues of early dawn," and others that might be named, are deservedly popular and are in most extensive use. Mrs. Alexander has also written hymns of a more elaborate character; but it is as a writer for children that she has excelled.
