On A Hill Lone And Gray - The Carter Family

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 tear-drops 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

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
