470:On every hill our Saviour dies
| Tunes: | He wipes the tear*, 54 |
| Meter: | Double Long Meter |
On every hill our Saviour dies,
And not on Calvary?s height alone;
His sorrows darken all our skies,
His griefs for all our wrongs atone.
Present he is in all our woes,
Upon a worldwide cross is hung;
And with exceeding bitter throes
His world-embracing heart is wrung.
Go! Cry the news from every hill;
Go! Ring the earth with sacred flame;
To pardon is the Father?s will,
And Jesus is the Saviour?s name.
2 In us his love invested is,
God cannot pass a suppliant by;
For heard in God?s eternities
Our prayers repeat the Saviour?s cry.
And for the sake of that dear name
With which all hope of good is given,
Our heavy load of sin and shame
The Father clears, and cries: Forgiven!
And not on Calvary?s height alone;
His sorrows darken all our skies,
His griefs for all our wrongs atone.
Present he is in all our woes,
Upon a worldwide cross is hung;
And with exceeding bitter throes
His world-embracing heart is wrung.
Go! Cry the news from every hill;
Go! Ring the earth with sacred flame;
To pardon is the Father?s will,
And Jesus is the Saviour?s name.
2 In us his love invested is,
God cannot pass a suppliant by;
For heard in God?s eternities
Our prayers repeat the Saviour?s cry.
And for the sake of that dear name
With which all hope of good is given,
Our heavy load of sin and shame
The Father clears, and cries: Forgiven!
