196. There is a green hill far away

1. There is a green hill far away,

   Without a city wall,

   Where God's Dear Son was crucified,

   Who died to save us all.

   O, dearly, dearly has He loved,

   And we should love Him, too,

   And trust in His redeeming blood,

   And seek His will to do.

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 do 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.
