Old Rugged Cross · letra

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
So 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 (Rugged cross) And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true Its shame and reproach gladly bear Then Hell call me some day to my home far away Where His glory forever Ill share
So 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 (Rugged cross) And exchange it some day for a crown And exchange it some day for a crown
