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. 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.[Chorus] 3 In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, Such a wonderful beauty I see; For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died To pardon and sanctify me.[Chorus] 4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; It's 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] Topics: Passion and Cross Languages: English Tune Title: [On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross]
