This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  There is a green hill far away,

       Without a city wall,

    Where the dear Lord was crucified,

       Who died to save us all.

 

Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,

   And died our sins to bear;

We trust in His redeeming blood,

   And life eternal share.

 

 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.

 

Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,

   And died our sins to bear;

We trust in His redeeming blood,

   And life eternal share.

 

 3  He died that we might be forgiven,

       He died to make us good,

    That we might from our sins be freed,

       Saved by His precious blood.

 

Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,

   And died our sins to bear;

We trust in His redeeming blood,

   And life eternal share.

 

 4  There was no other good enough

       To pay the price of sin,

    He only could divine life give

       And dwell Himself within.

 

Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,

   And died our sins to bear;

We trust in His redeeming blood,

   And life eternal share.
