On A Hill Lone And Grey Lyrics - Ralph Stanley

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
