THERE is a green hill far away, Outside a city wall, Where our 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 forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to Heaven, 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 Heaven, 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. |

Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 |
