Daniel O'Donnell - The Old Rugged Cross lyrics

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of sufferin' and shame And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners were 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 some day for a crown. --- Instrumental --- Oh, the 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. 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. I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown
