Lyrics for Song: The Old Rugged Cross 
Lyrics for Album: Softly and Tenderly [Laser] [2006]
  
               
  7158>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 was slain.
 
 
  Chorus:
  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.
 
 
  O 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.
 
 
  Chorus:
  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.
 
 
  In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
  A wondrous beauty I see
  For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
  To pardon and sanctify me.
 
 
  Chorus:
  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.
 
 
  To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
  Its shame and reproach gladly bear
  Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
  Where His glory forever I'll share.
 
 
  Chorus:
  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...
