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. I am a beginner in learning to play the piano and have chosen this song and will commit the lyrics to my heart as I play. So much comfort and peace. My grandmother and mother sang this song when I was a child. I am 70 and thankful to God for The Old Rugged Cross.
