There Is A Green Hill Poem by Cecil Frances Alexander

There Is A Green Hill

Rating: 3.9


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 suffer’d there.

He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Sav’d 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 lov’d,
And we must love him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.

A beautiful poem, well rhymed! It evokes compassion and love in us as it confronts us with the supreme sacrifice made by our Lord for our salvation.

A rare gem of a poet. A master of elegance, simplicity, and clarity; in beautiful sonorous poems, passionately brought forth with spiritual insight. Kudos! My Queen 👑.

Simple language she could engage and well-manage to write about Jesus- a Godly Sage!

I can't believe how the poet could conceive such a poem to weave sacred ideas to sadly bereave!

I relish this holy poem with simple English, I adore her wish to pray to Jesus who was never selfish, She says have no anguish as Jesus takes every blemish!
