'''The Old Rugged Cross''', Words & Music: George Bennard, 1913.
== Lyrics ==
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,<br />
the emblem of suffering and shame;<br />
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best<br />
for a world of lost sinners was slain.<br />
Refrain:<br />
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,<br />
till my trophies at last I lay down;<br />
I will cling to the old rugged cross,<br />
and exchange it some day for a crown.
2. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,<br />
has a wondrous attraction for me;<br />
for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above<br />
to bear it to dark Calvary.<br />
(Refrain)<br />
3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,<br />
a wondrous beauty I see,<br />
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,<br />
to pardon and sanctify me.<br />
(Refrain)<br />
4. To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,<br />
its shame and reproach gladly bear;<br />
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,<br />
where his glory forever I'll share.<br />
(Refrain)<br />
