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....
The 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....
Verse Two:
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....
Verse Three:
In the old rugged cross....stained with blood so divine....
A wondrous beauty I see........
For 'twas on that old cross....Jesus suffered and died.....
To pardon and sanctify me....
Verse Four:
To the old rugged cross....I will ever be true....
Its shame and reproach gladly bear.....
Then He'll call me someday to a home far away.......
Where His glory forever I'll share.......
The 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....
Tag
And I will cling to the old rugged cross.......[stop]
And exchange it someday for a crown........
