Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
(Verse One) 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. (Refrain)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 (Verse Two) 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. (Refrain) (Verse Three) In that old rugged Cross, stained with blood so divine A wondrous beauty I see For twas on that old Cross, Jesus suffered and died To pardon and sanctify me. (Refrain) (Verse Four) To 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 for ever I'll share. (Refrain)
