On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff'ring 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, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day 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. |

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. |

I love this hymn and have loved it since I was a young child. I'm older now and for me this hymn is timeless. It was the first hymn I ever learned as a child. Grateful.

This is a powerful hymn.
I grew up listening to it as a child then graduated to humming it then learning the chorus. And until date I have never loved it less, the lyrics are so powerful they make me sober everytime.
All I can say is thank you Lord for the opportunity of knowing "the old rugged cross" !

The Cross brings forth Mercy, and Mercy releases Pardon.
