SPOKEN
Oh, that old rugged cross
So very much despised by the world
It still holds a wondrous attraction to me
But the Bible says that it was there that the dear Lamb of God
Left the glory that He had above
To bear it on dark Calvary
 
On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suf’ring and shame
How I love that old cross
Where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
 
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
 
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
