(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
CHORUS
O dearly, dearly has He loved!
And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.
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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
