Don Moen The Old Rugged Cross song lyrics

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

So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross

'Til my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross

and exchange it some day for a crown

In the old rugged cross, stained with Blood so divine

A wondrous beauty I see

For t'was on that old Cross, Jesus suffered and died

To pardon and sanctify me

So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross

'Til 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

So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross

'Til my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross

and exchange it some day for a crown

and exchange it some day for a crown
