"Old Rugged Cross" 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 slain

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

That old rugged cross
That old rugged cross
I surrender now
Lay my trophies down
And exchange it someday for a crown
That old rugged cross

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
It was on that old cross, Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

To that old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me someday to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share

That old rugged cross

That old rugged cross
That old rugged cross
I surrender now
Lay my trophies down
And exchange it someday for a crown

That old rugged cross
That old rugged cross
I surrender now
Lay my trophies down
And exchange it someday for a crown
That old rugged cross

That old rugged cross
That old rugged cross
