There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 695 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:12-13 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 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.

we bow before your holy name,
forever blest.

high surging where it will.
In prophet's word you spoke of old
and you speak still.
Established is your law,
and changeless it shall stand,
deep writ upon the human heart
by your strong hand.
3 Your goodly land we seek,
with peace and plenty blest,
a land of sacred liberty
and Sabbath rest.
There milk and honey flow,
and oil and wine abound,
and trees of life forever grow
with mercy crowned.
4 You have eternal life
implanted in the soul;
your love shall be our strength and stay,
while ages roll.
We praise you, living God!
We praise your holy name:
the first, the last, beyond all thought,
and still the same!

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His pow’r.
Tho' all the world forsake me and Satan tempt me sore,
Thro' Jesus I shall safely reach the goal;
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
3 He will never, never leave me nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear--
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll;
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

The great Shepherd of the Sheep brought back from the Dead
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 285 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:20 First Line: Again the Lord of life and light Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord of life and light
Awakes the kindling ray;
Unseals the eyelids of the morn,
And pours increasing day.
2 O what a night was that, which wrapp'd
The heathen world in gloom!
O what a sun which broke this day
Triumphant from the tomb!
3 This day be grateful homage paid,
And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart,
And praise on ev'ry tongue.
4 Ten thousand diff'ring lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn,
Which scatter'd blessings from its wings,
To nations yet unborn.
5 Jesus, the friend of human kind,
With strong compassion mov'd,
Descended like a pitying God,
To save the souls he lov'd.
6 The pow'rs of darkness leagu'd in vain
To bind his soul in death;
He shook their kingdom when he fell,
With his expiring breath.
7 Not long the toils of hell could keep
The hope of Judah's line;
Corruption never could take hold
On aught so much divine.
8 And now his conq'ring chariot wheels
Ascend the lofty skies;
While broke, beneath his pow'rful cross,
Death's iron sceptre lies.
9 Exalted high at God's right hand,
And Lord of all below,
Thro' him is pard'ning love dispens'd,
And boundless blessings flow.
10 And still for erring, guilty man,
A brother's pity flows;
And still his bleeding heart is touch'd
With mem'ry of our woes.
11 To thee, my Saviour, and my King,
Glad homage let me give;
And stand prepar'd like thee to die,
With thee that I may live. Topics: The Resurrection of Christ, who arose for our Justification Text Sources: Howard's Coll.

while earth rolls onwards into light,

the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the song of praise away.

your children 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
your wondrous deeds resound on high.

like earths proud empires, pass away;
your kingdom stands and grows for ever,
till all your creatures own your sway. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; Kingdom of God Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

To the Name of Our Salvation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:1-16 Lyrics: 1 To the Name of our salvation
laud and honour let us pay,
which for many a generation
hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
but with holy exultation
we may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
name beyond what words can tell;
name of gladness, name of pleasure,
ear and heart delighting well;
name of sweetness passing measure,
saving us from sin and hell.
3 'Tis the name that whoso preaches
speaks like music to the ear;
who in prayer this name beseeches
finds its comfort ever near;
who its perfect wisdom reaches,
heavenly joy possesses here.
4 Jesus is the name exalted
over every other name;
in this name, whene'er assaulted,
we can put our foes to shame:
strength to them who else had halted,
eyes to blind and feet to lame.
5 Therefore we in love adoring,
this most blessed name revere,
holy Jesus, thee imploring
so to write it in us here
that, hereafter heavenward soaring,
we may sing with angels there.

in hymns of adoration,
to thee bring sacrifice of praise
with shouts of exultation:

the valleys stand so thick with corn
that even they are singing.

thy bounteous hand confessing,
upon thine altar, Lord, we lay
the first-fruits of thy blessing:
by thee the hungry soul is fed
with gifts of grace supernal;
thou who dost give us earthly bread,
give us the bread eternal.
3 We bear the burden of the day,
and often toil seems dreary;
but labour ends with sunset ray,
and rest comes for the weary:
may we, the angel-reaping o'er,
stand at the last accepted,
Christ's golden sheaves for evermore
to garners bright elected.
4 O blessèd is that land of God,
where saints abide for ever;
where golden fields spread far and broad,
where flows the crystal river:
the strains of all its holy throng
with ours today are blending;
thrice blessèd is that harvest-song
which never hath an ending. Used With Tune: GOLDEN SHEAVES
