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
Chorus:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I'll lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
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 far above
To bear it to dark Calvary
Repeat Chorus

O that old rugged cross
So despised by the world
