Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #657 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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: Passiontide; Years A, B, and C Good Friday Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:23 Languages: English Tune Title: HORSLEY
