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.

shame,
And I

that old cross where the

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.

And
ex

it some

day
for a

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.
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.

so divine,
A

suffered
and died,
To

pardon
and
D7
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 some day for a crown.
The great song I have ever heard in my life time on earth. This song speaks healing and courage to my soul. Thank You Jesus for dying for my sin. Thank You for the free gift of SALVATION..
I dearly love this hymn. I remember as a child how much I enjoyed hearing It sung by members of family, and friends singing It while at church or funerales or just to be singing tjis beautiful song. Going to revivals, of to get together also. I try to memorize the words to this song smong other hymns! But this one is by far my favorite.
Whenever I listen and followed the words one by one, it clearly points to me how Christ suffered for my sins. Am so thankful because it assures me of internal glory that awaits me. Thank You Jesus.
Someone made a comment earlier that his mother used to sing this song whilst doing the housework. This was also my mother's favourite song as it was her mother's. I can't sing this song without choking with tears when I recall her singing with such passion and emotion. Such powerful lyrics that stirs up feelings of gratitude and appreciation for what Jesus did at Calvary. Glory to His name.
My brother passed away 2007. This was his favorite song since he was a child. It brought me to tears when I heard it. I can still hear his voice singing it. I love this song.
