On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best, for a world of lost sinners was slain. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, ‘till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, to bear it to dark Calvary. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, ‘till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, where forever His glory I'll share. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, ‘till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.
