There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all.
The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, And order'd their estate.
He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.
When the friends we love the best Lie in their churchyard bed, We must not cry too bitterly Over the happy dead.
God hath his mysteries of grace, Ways that we cannot tell, He hides them deep, like the secret sleep Of him he loved so well.
He guides us into pastures green, He leads to bowers of bliss, Our Father lives, the God unseen, and Christ our Shepherd is.
