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
And I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And e change it some day for a crown
To the old rugged Cross,
I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then they'll call me someday
to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
And I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And e change it some day for a crown
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And e change it some day for a crown
