Suffered There

‘When they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.’—Luke 23:33‘There is a green hill far away,Without a city wall,Where the dear Lord was crucifiedWho died to save us all.‘We may not know, we cannot tell,What pains He had to bear;But we believe it was for usHe 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 enoughTo pay the price of sin,He only could unlock the gateOf 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.’—Cecil F.
