Sheet music
- 1There is a green hill far away,Without a city wall,Where the dear Lord was crucified,Who died to save us all.O dearly, dearly, has He loved,And we must love Him, too,And trust in His redeeming blood,And try His works to do.
- 2We may not know, we cannot tell,What pains He had to bear;But we believe it was for usHe hung and suffered there.O dearly, dearly, has He loved,And we must love Him, too,And trust in His redeeming blood,And try His works to do.
- 3There was no other good enoughTo pay the price of sin;He only could unlock the gateOf heaven and let us in.O dearly, dearly, has He loved,And we must love Him, too,And trust in His redeeming blood,And try His works to do.
