I can't find the parody, but my search of the DT doesn't show the original here either.
Just for S&G here it is
If this is a duplicate, just ignore.
THERE IS A GREEN HILL FAR AWAY
Gospel Hymns Consolidated, The Bigelow and Main Co and The John Church Co, New York, 1886.
Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander
Geo. C. Stebbins
notated in E, 6/8 time
1
There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall;
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
CHORUS
Oh! dearly dearly has He loved,
And we must love him too;
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.
2
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.
3
He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heav'n,
Sav'd by His precious blood.
4
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.
