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,
Till my trophies
at last I lay down;
I will cling to
the old rugged cross,
And exchange it
some day 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.
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
some day for a crown.
In that 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.
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
some day for a crown.
To the old rugged
cross I will ever
be true;
Its shame and reproach
gladly bear;
Then He'll call
me some day to my
home far away,
Where His glory
forever I'll share.
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
some day for a crown.
