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

Chorus -

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross

till my trophies at last I lay down

and I will cling to the old rugged cross

and exchange it some day for a crown

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine

a wondrous beauty I see

for was on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

to pardon and sanctify me

Chorus -

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 some day for a crown

To that old rugged cross I will ever be true

its shame and reproach gladly bear

then he'll call me some day to my home far away

where his glory forever I'll share

Chorus -

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 some day for a crown

Glory to His name

Glory to His name

There on that cross was the blood applied

Glory to His name
