old rugged cross Lyrics

On a hill

(Hill)

Far away

(Way)

Stood an old

(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

(Was slain)

So I'll cherish

The old rugged cross

Till my trophies

At last

I'll lay down

I will cling to

The old rugged cross

And exchange it

Someday

For a crown

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

And I love

That old cross

Where the

Dearest and best

For a world

Of lost sinners

Was slain

(Was slain)
