1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I'll cherish the cross, the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the cross, the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

2 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 bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]

3 In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]

4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
It's shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where his glory forever I'll share. [Refrain]

1 En el monte Calvario se vio una cruz,
emblema de afrenta y dolor;
y yo quiero esa cruz do murió mi Jesús
por salvar al más vil pecador.

Estribillo:
¡Oh! yo siempre amaré a esa cruz de Jesus,
en sus triunfos mi gloria será;
y algún día en vez de una aspera cruz,
mi corona Jesús me dará.

2 Aunque el mundo desprecie la cruz de Jesús,
para mí tiene suma atracción,
porque en ella llevó el Cordero de Dios
de mi pecado y mi condenación. [Estribillo]

3 En la cruz du su sangre Jesús derramó
hermosura contemplo en visión,
pues en ella de Cordero inmolado murió,
para darme pureza y perdón. [Estribillo]

4 Yo seré siempre fiel a la cruz de Jesús,
sus desprecios con él sufriré;
y algún día feliz con los santos en luz
para siempre su gloria tendré. [Estribillo]
