On a Hill Lone and Grey Lyrics


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 meOh, 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 meHark, 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 grayOh, 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ralph Stanley (born in 25 February 1927) is an American bluegrass musician. Stanley was born in Big Spraddle Creek, Virginia, near Stratton, Dickenson County, Virginia, USA. The son of Lucy and Lee Stanley, Ralph Edmond Stanley grew up in rural southwestern Virginia. Ralph learned to play the banjo claw-hammer style from his mother. It was her inspiration, coupled with Ralph's natural ability, which led Ralph and his older guitar-playing brother Carter to form the Stanley Brothers Band in 1946 after his service abroad during World War 2.
