The Carter Family - On a Hill Lone and Gray lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
