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.

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.

To pardon and sanctify me.

While praying today as I began to close. This glorious song of my childhood quickly flashed by, inside my heart. So I looked it up and "began singing it", "to myself entirely ".
It Felt awesome.
As I sang, I remembered my father sitting next to me at our Wednesday nights singing service, how I loved hearing my father's singing voice.
""I love this song so very much that it hurts we can not find any churches that will sing these important HOLY GHOST filled songs anymore"", They are truly Anointed by God and fill the room with HIS HOLY presence when sang.
There is a gigantic difference from what they sing in a "baptist" church today compared to a Baptist church in the 6o's And 70's.
"Really breaks my heart". "It is the saddest thing that's happened to the local churches" to the point of tears.
This beautiful songs always bring me more closer to my Maker. And I do receive divine strength soar higher after singing it. All thanks to the writer. To God be the glory.
I sang this song as it came to my mind this glorious morning. My spirited was lifted and my challenges evaporated. I received extra strength to face the challenges of the day.
Each time I sing this song more especially during the Lenten period it makes me cry. I feel those pains Jesus went through just because of me and you. May the passion he went through sanctfy us. That's my best song in Catholic hymn book that made me go as far as buying the hymn book.
