[00:31.935]On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
[00:36.675]The emblem of suffering and shame;
[00:40.648]And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
[00:44.977]For a world of lost sinners was slain.
[00:49.596]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
[00:53.660]Till my trophies at last I lay down;
[00:58.067]I will cling to the old rugged cross,
[01:02.241]And exchange it some day for a crown.
[01:09.470]O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
[01:13.333]Has a wondrous attraction for me;
[01:17.448]For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
[01:22.128]To bear it to dark Calvary.
[01:26.257]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
[01:29.948]Till my trophies at last I lay down;
[01:34.093]I will cling to the old rugged cross,
[01:38.405]And exchange it some day for a crown.
[02:18.888]To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
[02:23.814]Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
[02:28.025]Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
[02:32.553]Where His glory forever I'll share.
[02:36.870]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
[02:41.176]Till my trophies at last I lay down;
[02:45.387]I will cling to the old rugged cross,
[02:49.703]And exchange it some day for a crown.
