[ti:The old rugged cross]
[00:09.793]On  a  hill  far  away  stood  an  old  rugged  cross,
[00:20.47]The  emblem  of  suffering  and  shame;
[00:27.300]And  I  love  that  old  cross  where  the  dearest  and  best
[00:37.107]For  a  world  of  lost  sinners  was  slain.
[00:43.414]
[00:46.15]So  I'll  cherish  the  old  rugged  cross,
[00:55.67]Till  my  trophies  at  last  I  lay  down;
[01:03.718]I  will  cling  to  the  old  rugged  cross,
[01:13.296]And  exchange  it  some  day  for  a  crown.
[01:22.451]To  the  old  rugged  cross  I  will  ever  be  true,
[01:31.951]It's  shame  and  reproach  gladly  bear;
[01:40.852]Then  he'll  call  me  some  day  to  my  home  far  away,
[01:49.911]Where  his  glory  forever  I'll  share.
[01:56.13]
[01:59.45]So  I'll  cherish  the  old  rugged  cross,
[02:07.953]Till  my  trophies  at  last  I  lay  down;
[02:16.964]I  will  cling  to  the  old  rugged  cross,
[02:26.195]And  exchange  it  some  day  for  a  crown.
[02:35.198]I  will  cling  to  the  old  rugged  cross,
[02:44.304]And  exchange  it  some  day  for  a  crown.
