The Old Rugged Cross
Original Key: Bb Major MP3
A peaceful contemporary arrangement of the traditional hymn, The Old Rugged Cross. Perfect for Easter, Lent, and Good Friday. Songs lyrics reinforce faith in the cross, and the hope that is found in salvation. Four verses in this arrangement (repeat of the first verse at end, or room for alternate lyrics).
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,
Till my trophies at last I lay down,
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.
Oh 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 pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain
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 I'll share.
Refrain
