Old Rugged Cross Lyrics - Alabama

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 someday for a crown

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true 

It's shame and reproach gladly bear 

Then He'll call me someday 

To my home far away 

Where His glory forever I'll share
