On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

On a hill far away stood an
C
old rugged cross,
The

emblem of
D7
suff'ring and
G-D7
shame,
And I
G
love that old cross where the
C
Dearest and Best
For a
D
world of lost
D7
sinners was
G
slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
G
So I'll
D
cherish the old rugged
G
cross,
Till my
C
trophies at last I lay
G
down;
I will cling to the old rugged
C
cross,
And ex
G
change it some
D7
day for a
G
crown.

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
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,
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'll forever cherish the old rugged cross 🙏🙏
Loveland, CO, United States
I can't help but wonder if the focus should be on the cross or more on the man on the cross? Would anyone want to uplift the alter of sacrifice in the courtyard? How is the cross different from the alter? I will cherish the old bronze alter? Just a thought.

Thank You Lord for dying for me.

I love this hymn because it summerises the Christian experience and the expectation of the believer.
Warri, Delta State, Nigeria
Lord help me to continue holding on to the cross, at this point I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Help me Lord, help me.
