Old Rugged Cross Lyrics - Loretta Lynn

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 

(piano) 

Oh that old rugged cross so despised by the world 

Is a wonderous attraction for me 

For the dear lamb of God left this glory above 

To bare it to dark calvary
