There is a green hill far away

E995
1
There is a green hill far away,
  Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
  Who died to save us all.
 
Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,
  And died our sins to bear;
We trust in His redeeming blood,
    And life eternal share.
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 from our sins be freed,
  Saved by His precious blood.
4
There was no other good enough
  To pay the price of sin,
He only could divine life give
  And dwell Himself within.
