The 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 best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til 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
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
(Then he'll call me some day to my home far away) yes, he'll call me, someday, my home, far away
His glory for ever and ever and ever (where his glory forever I'll share)
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
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
'Til 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
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
(Then he'll call me some day to my home far away) yes, he'll call me, someday, my home, far away
His glory for ever and ever and ever (where his glory forever I'll share)
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
