There is a Green Hill Far Away
There is a Green Hill Far Away
1. There is a green hill far away
Without a city wall
Where the dear Lord was crucified
Who died to save us all.
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.
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.
4. O dearly, dearly, has he loved!
And we must love him too
And trust in his redeeming blood
And try his works to do.
