Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #138 (1974) Refrain First Line: O dearly, dearly has He loved 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.
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)
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. (Refrain) Topics: Children Hymns for Children; Christ Death; Christ Savior Scripture: Luke 23:33 Languages: English Tune Title: GREEN HILL
