Subject: The Old Rugged Cross |
Bible Note: The Old Rugged Cross (A Hymn) __________________________________ 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. In the 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. 4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, Where His glory forever I'll share. [Chorus] 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. |
