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
'Til my trophies
At last I lay down
I will cling to
The old rugged cross
And exchange it
Some day for a crown
In the 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
So I'll cherish
The old rugged cross
'Til my trophies
At last I lay down
I will cling to
The old rugged cross
And exchange it
Some day for a crown
Oh, yeah
So I'll cherish
The old rugged cross
'Til my trophies
At last I lay down
I will cling to
The old rugged cross
And exchange it
Some day for a crown
I will cling to
The old rugged cross
And exchange it
Some day for a crown
