On a Hill Lone and Gray
On a hill lone and gray in a land far away
In a country beyond the blue sea
Where beneath that far sky went a man forth to die
For the world and for you and for me
Oh, it bows down my heart and the teardrops do start
When in memory that great hill I see (hill I see)
It was there on his side, Jesus suffered, yes, he died
To redeem a poor sinner like me
Hark, I hear the dull blow of the hammer swung low
They are nailing my Lord to the tree
With the cross he upraised while the multitude gazed
He ascended that hill lone and gray
Oh, it bows down my heart and the teardrops do start
When in memory that great hill I see (hill I see)
It was there on his side, Jesus suffered, yes, he died
To redeem a poor sinner like me
Shout aloud then, my soul, let the glad tidings roll
From the land to the end of the sea (of the sea)
Where beneath that dark sky went a man forth to die
For the world and for you and for me
In a country beyond the blue sea
Where beneath that far sky went a man forth to die
For the world and for you and for me
Oh, it bows down my heart and the teardrops do start
When in memory that great hill I see (hill I see)
It was there on his side, Jesus suffered, yes, he died
To redeem a poor sinner like me
Hark, I hear the dull blow of the hammer swung low
They are nailing my Lord to the tree
With the cross he upraised while the multitude gazed
He ascended that hill lone and gray
Oh, it bows down my heart and the teardrops do start
When in memory that great hill I see (hill I see)
It was there on his side, Jesus suffered, yes, he died
To redeem a poor sinner like me
Shout aloud then, my soul, let the glad tidings roll
From the land to the end of the sea (of the sea)
Where beneath that dark sky went a man forth to die
For the world and for you and for me
