There Is A Green Hill Far Away

There Is A Green Hill Far Away is a hymn about Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on Cavalry – the green hill – to redeem us, and change us.

Hymn lyrics to There Is A Green Hill Far Away, (1848) by Cecil Frances Alexander

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 forgiv’n,
   He died to make us good,
   That we might go at last to heav’n,
   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 heav’n and let us in. 
5. Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved! 
   And we must love Him too
   And trust in His redeeming blood
   And try His works to do.
