Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?

Author: Watts Appears in 2,306 hymnals First Line: Alas, and did my Savior bleed? Refrain First Line: Jesus died for you, Jesus died for me Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? Refrain: Jesus died for you, Jesus died for me; Yes, Jesus died for all mankind, To make salvation free! 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Refrain] 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ the great Creator died For man the creature's sin. [Refrain] 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. [Refrain] 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Alas, and did my Savior bleed] (Vail)

There is a Green Hill Far Away

Author: Mrs. Alexander Hymnal: CS1875 #3 (1875) 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: Oh, 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a green hill far away] (Perkins)

Daniel March

1816 - 1909 Person Name: Dr. March Hymnal Number: 128 Author of "Hark! the Voice of Jesus Calling" in Calvary Songs March, Daniel, D.D., an American Congregational minister, b. July 21, 1816, has published Night Scenes in the Bible, and other works. His hymn "Hark, the voice of Jesus crying [calling]. Who will go," &c. (Missions), is given in the American Methodist Episcopal Hymnal, 1878, in 2 stanzas; in Sankey's Sacred Songs & Solos, 1878, in 6 stanzas; and in the Scottish Hymnal 1884, in 5 stanzas; in each case of 8 lines. It was written in 1863. (See Nutter's Hymn Studies, 1884, p. 236.) --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =============== March, D., p. 1578, ii. The following details concerning Dr. March's hymn, "Hark ! the voice of Jesus crying," have been furnished us by himself:— "It was written at the impulse of the moment to follow a sermon I was to preach in Clinton St. Church to the Philadelphia Christian Association on the text Is. vi. 8. That was some time in 1868." The original text in full is in The Hymnal, (Presb.), Phila., 1895, No. 361. Dr. March declines to accept the interpolations which have been made in this hymn. We must note also that the incident given in Brownlie's Hymns and Hymnwriters of the Church Hymnary (Scottish), p. 303, relative to this hymn and President Lincoln, is incorrect. It relates to Mrs. E. Gates's " If you cannot on the ocean," p. 1565, i. 5. [Rev. L. F. Benson, D.D.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Kate Hankey

1834 - 1911 Person Name: Miss Hankey Hymnal Number: 64 Author of "I Love to Tell the Story" in Calvary Songs Arabella Katherine Hankey (b. Clapham, England, 1834; d. Westminster, London, England, 1911) was the daughter of a wealthy banker and was associated with the Clapham sect of William Wilberforce, a group of prominent evangelical Anglicans from the Clapham area. This group helped to establish the British and Foreign Bible Society, promoted the abolition of slavery, and was involved in improving the lot of England's working classes. Hankey taught Bible classes for shop girls in London, visited the sick in local hospitals, and used the proceeds of her writings to support various mission causes. Her publications include Heart to Heart (1870) and The Old, Old Story and Other Verses (1879). Bert Polman =============== Hankey, Katharine, has published several hymns of great beauty and simplicity which are included in her:— (1) The Old, Old Story, 1866; (2) The Old, Old Story, and other Verses, 1879; (3) Heart to Heart, 1870, enlarged in 1873 and 1876. In 1878 it was republished with music by the author. Miss Hankey's hymns which have come into common use are:— 1. Advent tells us, Christ is near. The Christian Seasons. Written for the Sunday School of St. Peter's, Eaton Square, London, and printed on a card with music by the author. 2. I love to tell the story Of unseen things above. The love of Jesus. This is a cento from No. 3, and is given in Bliss's Gospel Songs, Cincinnati, 1874, and other American collections. 3. I saw Him leave His Father's throne. Lovest than Me? Written in 1868. It is No. 33 of the Old, Old Story, and other Verses, 1879. 4. Tell me the old, old story. This Life of Jesus in verse was written in two parts. Pt. i., "The Story Wanted," Jan. 29; and Pt. ii., "The Story Told," Nov. 18, 1866. It has since been published in several forms, and sometimes with expressive music by the author, and has also been translated into various languages, including Welsh, German, Italian, Spanish, &c. The form in which it is usually known is that in I. P. Sankey's Sacred Songs & Solos. This is Part i. slightly altered. Miss Hankey's works contain many suitable hymns for Mission Services and Sunday Schools, and may be consulted both for words and music with advantage. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

All these hymns, with the exception of No. 3, are in his Sacred Poems and Prose, 1861, and several of them have been printed as leaflets, and set to special music.
