Old Rugged Cross (The)

I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

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

So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross, (the old rugged cross)
Till my trophies, at last, I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

To the old rugged cross, (the old rugged cross)
I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then, He'll call me someday, to my home far away
Where His glory, forever I'll share

So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross, (the old rugged cross)
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

And exchange it someday for a crown
