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 someday for a crown 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 So I¡¯ll cherish the old rugged cross 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, Shame and reproach I¡¯ll gladly bear then He¡¯ll call me someday To my home where His glory forever 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 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 Old rugged cross someday for a crown |
