When I Survey/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
Chorus:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I'll lay down
I will climb to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
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 far above
To bear it to dark Calvary
Repeat Chorus
Dou graças mil a meu Jesus
O amor provado sobre a cruz
Irá suster e conduzir
A minha vida no porvir
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he's gonna call me some day
To my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
Repeat Chorus
When I survey the wondrous cross
I'll exchange it someday for a crown
