There Is a Green Hill Far Away

Verse 1

There is a green hill far away, Outside 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 forgiv’n, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heav’n, 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 heav’n and let us in.

Verse 5

Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved! And we must love Him too And trust in His redeeming blood And try His works to do.
