On a hill far away

- 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.
- 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.
- O, the 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.
- 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.
- 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,
- when His glory for ever I'll share.
