The Old Rugged Cross

Chorus 1
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
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
Verse 2
O 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
Verse 3
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me someday
To my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share
