📄 Transcript
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And our Lord that O Christ Were the dearest and best For a world of what sinners would say So I'll cherish the old rugged cause Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it someday for a crown Oh 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. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I look down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it someday for a crown In that old rugged cross stained with blood so divine the wondrous beauty I will see. For it was on that old cross Jesus suffered and died To pardon and sanctify me 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 someday for a crown To the old rugged cross I will ever be true It shame and reproach gladly bear Then he call me someday To my home far away Where is glory forever I'll share 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 someday for a crown Thank you.
