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;
I Will Cling To The Old Rugged Cross,
And Exchange It Some Day For A Crown.

To The Old Rugged Cross I Will Ever Be True,
It's Shame And Reproach Gladly Bear;
Then He'll Call Me Some Day To My Home Far Away,
Where His Glory Forever I'll Share.
[Refrain]
