The Old Rugged Cross (Hymn Core Music) ✝

[Brief Intro] [Slow] [Verse 1] 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. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] 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. [Verse 2 continuation] 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. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] [Bridge] 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. 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. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3 continuation] where his glory forever I'll share. [Build Up] [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] 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. [Fade Out] [End] [Outro continuation] and exchange it some day for a crown. [Fade Out] [End]
