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.

This was my favorite hymn as a child.
I haven't sung it a long time. It brought tears to my eyes as it reminds me of my saviour, Jesus the LORD! 🙌
Praying for His children everywhere on earth that His Holy Spirit moves and works among us for His glory! 🙏
