The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away, stood an old 
rugged cross
the emblem of suffering and shame 
I love that old cross where 
the dearest and best 
for a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain
(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 someday 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 Devine 
a wondrous beauty I see, 
For twas on that old cross 
Jesus suffered and died 
to pardon and sanctify me.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me someday
to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share.
