The Old Rugged Cross
Author: George Bennard Meter: Irregular Appears in 374 hymnals First Line: On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross Refrain First Line: So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Lyrics: 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.
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.
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.
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.
3. In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
Such a wonderful beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
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.
4. 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.
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.

sin consuelo, sin fe, y sin amor;
Y la sombra fatal de la senda que hollé
puso en mi alma la hiel del dolor.
Coro:
A mis pies, el infierno se abrió,
y clamé con el alma a Jesús;
Y al instante la escena cambió
en la hermosa visión de la cruz.

Mi existencia le di, y le quiero ser fiel;
me constriñe el amor por mi Rey. [Coro]

Esa carga fatal que en el alma llevais,
ven y ponla a los pies del Señor. [Coro] Topics: Confesión de Cristo; Testimony; Curuz de Cristo; Cross of Christ; Testimonio del Cristiano; Christian's Testimony Scripture: Colossians 1:15-23 Used With Tune: OLD RUGGED CROSS

Person Name: Ismeretlen Translator of "A Régi Kereszt" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
