There Is a Green Hill Far Away

0:00 / 0:00

Verse 1

There is a green hill far away,

Without a city wall,

Where the dear Lord was crucified,

Who died to save us all.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved!

And we must love him too,

And trust in his redeeming blood,

And try his works to do.
