[Verse 1]
On a hill far away stood an 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
[Chorus]

And exchange it some day for a crown
[Verse 2]

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
[Chorus]
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
[Outro]
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
