The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#87

87. 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.

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
