The 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.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
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 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its 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] Used With Tune: [On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross]

earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see;

what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.

ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

and all is darkened in the veil of tears,
then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
from His own fullness all He takes away.

when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
