Author: Mrs. Alexander Hymnal: The Christian Sunday School Hymnal #87 (1883) Refrain First Line: O 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:
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 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 enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 23:33 Tune Title: [There is a green hill far away]
