Good Friday

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Nicholas' Anglican Church, Helsinki
Tehtaankatu 23 B Helsinki, 00150, Finland

At this solemn midday Eucharist we hear the Proclamation of the Passion and venerate the cross.

Minister: The Rev’d Parvez Gill

‘There is a green hill far away,
Outside 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.

He died that we might be forgiv’n,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heav’n,
Saved by His precious blood.

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.’

Hymn: There is a Green Hill Faraway. Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1848)
