Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 There is  a green  hill far  away,
Without  a city  wall,
 Where the dear Lord  was crucified,
 Who died  to save  us all.
 Oh, dearly, dearly has  He loved,
 And we  must love  Him too;
 And trust  in His  redeeming blood,
 And try  His works  to do.
 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 forgiv'n,
 He died to make us good,
 That we might go at last to Heav'n,
 Saved by His precious blood.
 There was no other good enough,
 To pay the price of sin;
 He only could unlock the gate
 Of Heav'n and let us in.
