The Old Rugged Cross

Lyrics

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
 The emblem of suff'ring 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.
 In the 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.
