- 00:00
- Stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame.
- 00:32
- And I loved that old cross where the dearest and best,
- 00:40
- For a world of lost sinners was slain.
- 00:48
- So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
- 00:56
- Till my trophies at last I lay down.
- 01:04
- I will cling to the old rugged cross,
- 01:12
- And exchange it someday for a crown.
- 01:21
- Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
- 01:29
- Has a wondrous attraction for me.
- 01:37
- For the dear Lamb of God left
- 01:42
- His glory above To bury to dark
- 01:50
- Calvary. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
- 02:02
- Till my trophies at last I lay down.
- 02:10
- I will cling to the old rugged cross,
- 02:18
- And exchange it someday for a crown.
- 02:27
- In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
- 02:36
- Such a wonderful beauty I see.
- 02:42
- For it was on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
- 02:51
- To pardon and sanctify me.
- 03:00
- So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
- 03:07
- Till my trophies at last I lay down.
- 03:15
- I will cling to the old rugged cross,
- 03:23
- And exchange it someday for a crown.
- 03:31
- To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
- 03:40
- Its shame and reproach gladly bear.
- 03:48
- Then He'll call me someday to my home far away,
- 03:55
- Where His glory forever I'll share.
- 04:03
- So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
- 04:11
- Till my trophies at last I lay down.
- 04:19
- I will cling to the old rugged cross,
- 04:27
- And exchange it someday for a crown.
