lyrics

The Old Rugged Old Cross


On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross
The symbol, of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross, where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

(Chorus)
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 someday 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 ‘twas on that cross, Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

(Chorus)

To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He’ll call on someday, to my home far away
Where His glory, forever I’ll share

(Chorus)
