There’s a hill lone and grey, in a land far away, In a country beyond the blue sea, Where beneath that fair sky went a Man forth to die For the world and for you and for me. Refrain Oh, it bows down my heart And the teardrops will start, When in mem’ry that grey hill I see. For ’twas there on its side, Jesus suffered and died To redeem a poor sinner like me. 2. Behold! faint on the road, ’neath a world’s heavy load, Comes a thorn crownèd Man on the way, With a cross He is bowed, but still on through the crowd He’s ascending that hill lone and grey. [Refrain] 3. Hark! I hear the dull blow of the hammer swung low; They are nailing my Lord to the tree, And the cross they upraised while the multitude gaze On the blest Lamb of dark Calvary. [Refrain] 4. How they mock Him in death, to His last lab’ring breath, While His friends sadly weep o’er the way; But though lonely and faint, still no word of complaint Fell from Him on the hill lone and grey. [Refrain] 5. Then the darkness came down and the rocks rent around, And a cry pierced the grief laden air; ’Twas the voice of our King who received death’s dark sting, All to save us from endless despair. [Refrain] 6. Let the sun hide its face, let the earth reel apace, Over men who their Savior have slain; But behold from the sod, comes the blest Lamb of God, Who was slain and is risen again. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a hill lone and grey, in a land far away]

Beverly Carradine

1848 - 1931 Author of "There's a Hill Lone and Grey" in The Cyber Hymnal Beverly Francis Carradine (April 4, 1848 - April 22, 1931) was an American Methodist minister, and a leading evangelist for the holiness movement. He was a productive author, writing primarily on the subject of sanctification. Beverly Francis Carradine was born on April 4, 1848, on Altamont Plantation in Yazoo County, Mississippi. Carradine was the sixth of nine children, and fourth son of Mary Caroline Hewitt Carradine (born June 5, 1819 in Washington, D.C.; died 1881 in Yazoo City, Mississippi) and Henry Francis Carradine (born June 7, 1808 in Yazoo City, Mississippi; died March 8, 1854), a planter. The Carradine family moved to Yazoo City in 1852. 1n 1865 Carradine, aged 16, enlisted in Wood's Regiment in the Confederate Cavalry in Mississippi, and served until the end of the American Civil War. In May 1865 he was mustered with the 6th Cavalry Regiment Mississippi. Carradine graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1867. Later he studied pharmacy and worked as a clerk and bookkeeper in a store. Carradine "prayed through" on July 12, 1874, and then he told his wife, "Laura, I’m not going to go to Hell after all." He was licensed to preach in October 1874 and became a pastor in Mississippi and New Orleans. He was ordained a Methodist elder in 1878. On June 1, 1889, Carradine received the "blessing of sanctification" in his study in the parsonage at 35 Polyminca Street, New Orleans. His third book, Sanctification, was published the next year. Many of his subsequent books were centered on the concept of sanctification. He published at least 26 books. He also wrote about his opposition to the Louisiana lottery, making an analogy between it and slavery. The New York Times/ reported that his early opposition as a prominent New Orleans pastor helped to end the lottery in that state. Carradine died on April 22, 1931 in Western Springs, Illinois. Carradine was buried on April 26, 1931 at the Cedar Hill Cemetery, Vicksburg, Mississippi. Although a prolific author, Carradine wrote little about himself and his family, not even in his autobiographical Pastoral Sketches. Carradine was married twice, and had at least nine children. --en.wikipedia.org/wiki (excerpts)
