There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil F.rances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 695 hymnals Lyrics:
There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified
Who died to save us all.
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.
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.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
O dearly, dearly has he loved!
And we must love him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.

There is a green hill far away
When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 999 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view,
I'm lost in wonder, love and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in such slipp'ery paths I ran
in childhood's careless days,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
to walk in adult ways.
4 When worn with sickness oft hast thou
with health renewed my face;
and when in sins and sorrows sunk,
revived my soul with grace.
5 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
6 Through ev'ry period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
7 Through all eternity to thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O! eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Topics: Grace and Providence; Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Morning Used With Tune: BELGRAVE

Arise, O King of Grace, Arise
Author: Isaac Watts; John Henry Livingston Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 171 hymnals Lyrics:
1 Arise, O King of grace, arise,
and enter to thy rest:
thy people wait with longing eyes
thus to be owned and blessed.
2 Enter with all thy glorious train,
thy Spirit and thyh word;
all that the Ark did once contain
could no such grace afford.
3 Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
here let thy praise be spread;
bless the provisions of thy house
and fill thy poor with bread.
4 Here let the Son of David reign,
let God's Anointed shine;
justice and truth his court maintain
with love and power divine.
5 Clothe all thy ministers with grace,
let truth their tongues employ,
that in the Savior's righteousness
thy saints may shout for joy.

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 892 hymnals Lyrics:
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
To heaven, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete.
Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
Amen.

And at our Father’s lov’d abode
Our souls arrive in peace.

And portion evermore. Topics: God Our Refuge Used With Tune: ASYLUM

Whatever Dims Thy Sense of Truth

Or stains thy purity,
Though light as breath of summer air,
O count it sin to thee.

From every blemish free,
For our Redeemer’s holy faith
Its temple makes with thee.

To tread the narrow way:
How dark so ever it may seem,
It leads to cloudless day. Used With Tune: HORSLEY
