Lyrics:
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
On a hill lone and gray in a land far away In a country beyond the blue sea (the blue sea) Where beneath that foreign 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
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
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 many did gaze 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) When beneath that dark sky went a man forth to die For the world and for you and for me
