Verse 1

     F
On a hill lone and gray
     Bb   F
In a land far away
                             C
In a country beyond the blue sea
      F
Where beneath that far sky
       Bb      F
Went a man for to die
                      C       F
For the world and for you and for me

Chorus

      Bb
Oh it bows down my heart
        F
And the tear drops do start
                                C
When in memory that gray hill I see
       F
It was there on its side
      Bb           F
Jesus suffered yes he died
                 C      F
To redeem a poor sinner like me

Verse 2

      F
Oft I hear the dull blow
       Bb     F
Of the hammer swung low
                                C
They are nailing my lord to the tree
         F
With the cross he upraised
          Bb        F
While the multitude gazed
                 C         F
He ascended that hill lone and gray

Chorus

      Bb
Oh it bows down my heart
        F
And the tear drops do start
                                C
When in memory that gray hill I see
       F
It was there on its side
      Bb           F
Jesus suffered yes he died
                 C      F
To redeem a poor sinner like me
      Bb
Shout aloud to them I’m told
        F
Let the glad tidings roll
                                C
From the land to the end of the sea
      F
Where beneath that far sky
       Bb      F
Went a man for to die
                      C       F
For the world and for you and for me
