Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #77b (1958) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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.
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 forgiven,
He died to make us good;
That we might go at last to heaven,
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 heaven, 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: The Church Year Palm Sunday; The Church Year Holy Week; The Church Year Good Friday Tune Title: HORSLEY
