There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Scripture: John 3:14-17 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, outside a city wall, where the 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.
