THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
By George Bennard, 1912
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O 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
Refrain
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.
Refrain
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me someday to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share.
Refrain
