THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
George Bennard



ON A HILL FAR AWAY, STOOD AN OLD RUGGED CROSS
THE EMBLEM OF SUFF’RING AND SHAME
AND I LOVED 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
I WILL CLING TO THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
AND EXCHANGE IT SOME DAY FOR A CROWN

O, 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

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

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
THERE HIS GLORY FOR EVER I’LL SHARE
