The Old Rugged Cross

<br>On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross the emblem of suffering and shame <br>And I love that old cross where the dearest and best <br>For a word of lost sinners was slain <br>So I`ll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last I lay down <br>I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it some day for a crown <br>To the old rugged cross I will ever be true it`s shame and reproach gladly bear <br>Then he`ll call me some day to my home far away where his glory forever I`ll share <br>So I`ll cherish... <br>And exchange it some day for a crown
