Intro

   

Verse 1

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

Chorus

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down 
And I will cling to the old rugged cross 
And exchange it some day for a crown 

Verse 2

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 2

And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down 
And I will cling to the old rugged cross 
And exchange it some day for a crown 
I will cling to the old rugged cross 
And exchange it some day for a crown
