The Old Rugged Cross

Lyrics

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.
 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,
 Where his glory forever I'll share.
