Verse 1: There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. Verse 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. Verse 3: He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might from our sins be freed, Saved by His precious blood. Verse 4: There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin, He only could divine life give And dwell Himself within.
