Old Rugged Cross

<p>On a hill far away<br/>Stood an old rugged cross<br/>The emblem of suffring and shame<br/>And I love that old cross<br/>Where the dearest and best<br/>For a world of lost sinners<br/>Was slain<br/>So I&#x27;ll cherish the old rugged cross<br/>Til my trophies<br/>At last I lay down<br/>I will cling to the old rugged cross<br/>And exchange it someday for a crown<br/>O the old rugged cross<br/>So despised by the world<br/>Has a wond&#x27;rous attraction for me<br/>For the Dear Lamb of God<br/>Left His glory above<br/>To bear it to dark Calvary<br/>So I&#x27;ll cherish the old rugged cross<br/>Til my trophies at last I lay down<br/>I will cling to the old rugged cross<br/>And exchange it someday for a crown<br/>And exchange it someday for a crown<br/>To the old rugged cross<br/>I will ever be true<br/>It&#x27;s shame and reproach gladly bear<br/>Then He&#x27;ll call me someday to my home far away<br/>Where His glory forever I&#x27;ll share<br/>So I&#x27;ll cherish the old rugged cross<br/>Til my trophies at last I lay down<br/>I will cling to the old rugged cross<br/>And exchange it someday for a crown<br/>And exchange it someday for a crown<br/>And exchange it someday<br/>For a crown
