Original text and translations

English text

There is a green hill far away, [without a city wall,]
where the dear Lord was crucified, who died to save us all.

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.

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.

Chorus:
Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved and we must love Him too;
and trust in His redeeming blood and try His works to do.
