The Old Rugged Cross

Johnny Cash

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

R: And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
   until my trophies at last I lay down
   I will cling to the old rugged cross

2. 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

R: And I`ll...
I will cling to the old rugged cross
