Ralph Stanley - On a Hill Lone and Grey lyrics

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 for 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 gray hill I see (Hill I see) It was there on its 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 tear drops do start When in memory that gray hill I see (Hill I see) It was there on its 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 far sky When a man hoped to die For the world and for you and for me
