There is something powerful about a text that has resonated for nearly 200 years. While we often hear the words for There is a Green Hill Far Away set to familiar tunes, I hope this new setting will help you experience the story with fresh ears and a more personal connection.
This original setting offers a reverent alternative that focuses on a quiet, prayerful atmosphere that, hopefully, helps invite reflection on the powerful message of the lyrics.
Whether you are looking for a piece for your full choir or a more intimate solo, this setting is designed to be accessible, yet profound and moving.
It’s a perfect fit for Good Friday, Easter, or any worship service that seeks to invite reflection on the atonement and resurrection of our Lord.
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.
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.
Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved!
And we must love him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.
