164   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]
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.

[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.

[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.
