Lyrics

"The cross of our lord jesus christ." galatians 6:14

Courtesy of old rugged cross historical museum
Words & music: george bennard, 1913 (mi­di, score)

The old rugged cross was writ­ten in al­bi­on, mi­chi­gan. or po­ka­gon, mi­chi­gan. or stur­geon bay, wis­con­sin. all three towns claim to be the birth­place of this hymn

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

Refrain

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

Refrain

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

Refrain

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

Refrain
