99. The Green Hill Far Away

1 There is a green hill far away,
Outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.

Refrain:
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,
He suffered there.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 O dearly, dearly has He loved!
And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do. [Refrain]
