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 the 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 someday for a crown

To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true

It's shame and reproach gladly bared

Then He'll call me someday to my home far away

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
