Verse 1
On a hill far away stood that 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
Oh, I'll cherish this old rugged cross,
'Til my burdens at last I lay down.
I will cling to this old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
