Lyrics

[00:13] On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
[00:22] The emblem of suffering and shame
[00:31] And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
[00:41] For a world of lost sinners was slain
[00:50] So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
[01:00] Till my trophies at last I lay down
[01:09] I will cling to the old rugged cross
[01:18] And exchange it some day for a crown
[01:33] O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
[01:42] Has a wondrous attraction for me
[01:51] For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
[02:01] To bear it to dark Calvary
[02:10] So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
[02:19] Till my trophies at last I lay down
[02:29] I will cling to the old rugged cross
[02:38] And exchange it some day for a crown
[03:24] So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
[03:33] Till my trophies at last I lay down
[03:42] I will cling to the old rugged cross
[03:52] And exchange it some day for a crown
[04:03] And exchange it some day for a crown
