<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,<br>
|
|
The emblem of suffering and shame;<br>
|
|
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best<br>
|
|
For a world of lost sinners was slain.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,<br>
|
|
Till my trophies at last I lay down;<br>
|
|
I will cling to the old rugged cross,<br>
|
|
And exchange it some day for a crown.</p>
|
|
<p>O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,<br>
|
|
Has a wondrous attraction for me;<br>
|
|
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above<br>
|
|
To bear it to dark Calvary.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,<br>
|
|
A wondrous beauty I see,<br>
|
|
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,<br>
|
|
To pardon and sanctify me.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;<br>
|
|
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;<br>
|
|
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,<br>
|
|
Where His glory forever I’ll share.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
