Bill Anderson Lyrics for Song: Old Rugged Cross
 Lyrics for Album: Singing His Praise (w. Jan Howard) [Decca] [1972]
 
 
 
 4490>(George Bernard Shaw)
 
 
 
 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
 
 The emblem of suffering 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 ---
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 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...
