Tune: | THERE IS A GREEN HILL FAR AWAY |
Composer: | Geo. C. Stebbins, by per |
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:
Oh! 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 forgiven,
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]
