"On A Hill Lone And Gray" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

[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
