There is a green hill far away

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Laudes Domini #167 (1890) Topics: Christ Love of; Christ Love of 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. 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. 2 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. 3 Oh, dearly, dearly, has he loved, And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do. For there's a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. Languages: English Tune Title: CONCONE

Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there; Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: REST (II)

Behold th' amazing sight

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #131 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Love Of Christ Lyrics: 1 Behold th'amazing sight, The Saviour lifted high! Behold the Son of God's delight Expire in agony? 2 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne! Why did He feel that piercing smart, And meet that various scorn? 3 For love of us He bled, And all in torture died; 'Twas love that bow'd His fainting head, And oped His gushing side. 4 In sympathy of love Let all the earth combine; And, drawn by cords so gentle, prove The energy divine. 5 In Him our hearts unite, Nor share His griefs alone, But from His cross pursue their flight To His triumphant throne.

See where He bows His sacred head; He bows His head, and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like Thine?
