verse 1
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.
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.
chorus
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.
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.
verse 2
Oh, that old rugged cross so dispised 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.
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
chorus
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.
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.

chorus
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...
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown...
