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.
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 that 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.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me someday to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.
