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 in the bible we read of the beauties of heaven and the place christ has gone to prepare and eyes have not seen and ears have not heard what awaits us in heaven in that city.
The old rugged cross lyrics and song.
So i ll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last i lay down.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross the emblem of suffering and shame.
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 lay down i will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it some day for a crown in the old rugged cross stain d with blood so divine.
Its shame and reproach gladly bear.
I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown.
