The Old Rugged Cross Songtext
von Fountainview Academy Orchestra & Singers

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 l′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 someday for a crown


To 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 will share

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

Oh, I will cling to the cross
And exchange it someday
Someday
Someday
For a crown
