Hymn 303

There is a green hill far away

Meter: C.M.

Scripture: Luke 23:33

1

There is a green hill far away,

Without 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 forgiv’n,

He died to make us good,

That we might go at last to heav’n

Sav’d by His precious blood.

4

There was no other good enough

To pay the price of sin;

He only could unlock the gate

Of heav’n, and let us in.

5

O dearly, dearly has He lov’d,

And we must love Him too,

And trust in His redeeming blood

And try His works to do.
