There is a green hill far away
Language:
English
There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to Heaven,
Saved by His precious blood.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven and let us in.
O dearly, dearly has He loved.
And we must love Him too.
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do!

Le Calvaire
Language:
French
Il est au loin une colline
En dehors de la cité,
Où le seigneur, bonté divine,
Mourut pour l'humanité.
Et sans savoir, sans pouvoir dire
Tout ce qu'il a souffert,
Nous croyons que par son martyre
Le ciel nous fût ouvert !
Il meurt pour que Dieu nous pardonne,
Oui, c'est pour nous qu'il meurt,
Et notre céleste couronne
Est le prix de ses douleurs.
Par quelle offrande assez forte
De nos fautes nous laver ?
Lui seul du ciel pouvait ouvrir la porte
Et nous sauver.
Il nous aima, nous devons donc l'aimer
Et croire à la vertu féconde
Du Christ ; il a sauvé le monde
Et nous devons l'imiter ! oui
Nous devons l'aimer !
