VERSE 1
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 that old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to that old rugged cross;
And exchange it some day for a crown.
VERSE 2
Oh, that old rugged cross
So despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God
Left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.
CHORUS
So I'll cherish that old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to that old rugged cross;
And exchange it some day for a crown.
VERSE 3
In the old rugged cross,
Stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross
Je-sus suffered and died,
To par-don and sanc-ti-fy me.
CHORUS
So I'll cherish that old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to that old rugged cross;
And exchange it some day for a crown.
VERSE 4
To the 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 for-ever I'll share.
CHORUS
So I'll cherish that old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to that old rugged cross;
And exchange it some day for a crown.
