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, 
Till my trophies at last I lay down; 
I will cling to the old rugged cross, 
And exchange it some day 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.

So I'll cherish the old 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 crown.

So I'll cherish the old 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 crown.
