Old Rugged Cross

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 blest,
For a world of lost sinners was slain. Chorus

So I’ll cherish that Old Rugged Cross, 
till my trophies at last I'll  lay down 
I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross and exchange it some day for a Crown. 

O 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. Chorus

In the Old Rugged Cross, stained with Blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see

For it was on that Old Cross, Jesus suffered and died,

To Pardon and sanctify me. Chorus

To that Old Rugged Cross,
I will ever be true,
It’s shame and reproach gladly bear,
Then He’ll call me someday To my home far away, where His glory for ever I’ll Share Chorus
