- Lyrics
1 There is a green hill far away,
outside 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 forgiv'n,
He died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heav'n,
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 heav'n, 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.
