There is a Green Hill Far Away
The Hymn "There is a Green Hill Far Away" was one of those sung at the hymn service lead by Revd. Ernest Courtenay Carter.
The words were written by Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander (1818-1895), in 1848, for the collection Hymns for Little Children. The usual tune to accompany the words is "Green Hill" by George Coles Stebbins (1846-1945) composed in 1878 although alternative tunes exist.
