The Old Rugged Cross

Lyrics

The Old Rugged Cross 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 the best For a world of lost sinners was slain And 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 On that old rugged cross, so despised by this old world Has a wondrous attraction for me For a dear Lamb of God left His glory above To bear it to dark cavalry And 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...
