The Old Rugged Cross Songtext / Lyric

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






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



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



And exchange it someday for a crown
