Lyrics
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
He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious blood.
Verse 4
There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in.
Verse 5
O dearly, dearly has He loved! And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do.
