Stood An Old Rugged Cross Christian Song Lyrics

Stood An Old Rugged Cross The emblem of suff ring and shame And I love that old cross English Christian Song Lyrics Sung by. Popular.

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

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 someday for a crown
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
In that old rugged cross
stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For it was on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me
To the old rugged cross
I will ever be true
It’s shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever
I’ll share
