\n<\/strong><\/span>“The Old Rugged Cross”<\/p>\n
\nThe emblem of suff’ring and shame
\nAnd I love that old cross where the dearest and best
\nFor a world of lost sinners was slain<\/p>\n
\nTill my trophies at last I lay down<\/span>
\nI will cling to the old rugged cross<\/span>
\nAnd exchange it some day for a crown<\/span><\/p>\n
\nHas a wondrous attraction for me
\nFor the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
\nTo bear it to dark Calvary<\/p>\n
\nTill my trophies at last I lay down<\/span>
\nI will cling to the old rugged cross<\/span>
\nAnd exchange it some day for a crown<\/span><\/p>\n
\nA wondrous beauty I see
\nFor ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
\nTo pardon and sanctify me<\/p>\n
\nTill my trophies at last I lay down<\/span>
\nI will cling to the old rugged cross<\/span>
\nAnd exchange it some day for a crown<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIts shame and reproach gladly bear
\nThen He’ll call me some day to my home far away
\nWhere His glory forever I’ll share<\/p>\n
\nTill my trophies at last I lay down<\/span>
\nI will cling to the old rugged cross<\/span>
\nAnd exchange it some day for a crown<\/span><\/p>\n
