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



And 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
