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 someday for a crown

On that old rugged cross
Stained with blood, so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
It was on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
He pardoned and sanctified me

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 someday for a crown

I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
