The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away On a hill far away

stood an old rugged cross; stood an old rugged cross;

The emblem of suffering and shame.The emblem of suffering and shame.

And I love that old cross And I love that old cross

where the dearest and best, where the dearest and best,

for a world of lost sinners was slain.for a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish The old rugged cross,So I'll cherish The old rugged cross, Till my trophies At last I lay down;Till my trophies At last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross, I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.and exchange it some day for a crown.
