There is a green hill far away

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 724 hymnals 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 Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved! And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do. Amen. Topics: For Children Used With Tune: [There is a green hill far away]

O Savior, Whom This Holy Morn

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Savior, whom this holy morn Gave to our world below; To mortal want and labor born, And more than mortal woe. 2. Incarnate Word! by every grief, By each temptation tried, Who lived to yield our ills relief, And to redeem us died! 3. If gaily clothed and proudly fed In dangerous wealth we dwell, Remind us of Thy manger bed And lowly cottage cell. 4. If pressed by poverty severe In anxious want we pine, O may Thy Spirit whisper near How poor a lot was Thine! 5. Through this life’s ever varying scene From sin preserve us free; Like us Thou hast a mourner been, May we rejoice with Thee! Used With Tune: AZMON Text Sources: Christian Observer, November 1811

Life Is A Span, A Fleeting Hour

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 165 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Life is a span, a fleeting hour, How soon the vapor flies! Man is a tender, transient flower, That e’en in blooming dies! 2 Death spreads like winter’s frozen arms, And beauty smiles no more; Ah! where are now those rising charms Which pleased our eyes before? 3 The once loved form, now cold and dead, Each mournful thought employs; And nature weeps, her comforts fled, And withered all her joys. 4 But wait the interposing gloom And lo, winter flies! And dressed in beauty’s fairest bloom The flowery tribes arise. 5 Hope looks beyond the bounds of time; When what we now deplore, Shall rise in full immortal prime, And bloom to fade no more. 6 Then cease, fond nature, cease thy tears, Religion points on high; There everlasting spring appears, And joys that cannot die.

Teach me, O God, in truth to pray, "Thy will, not mine, be done." Used With Tune: BELMONT Text Sources: Christian Disciple, September 1818
