Lyrics:
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 slainSo I’ll cherish the old rugged cross (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 crownTo 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 shareAnd I’ll cherish the old rugged cross (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 I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown
