벌스 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

벌스 2

O 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

코러스

That old rugged cross
That old rugged cross
I surrender now
Lay my trophies down
And exchange it someday
For a crown
That old rugged cross

벌스 3

In that old rugged cross
Stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For it was on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

벌스 4

To that old rugged cross
I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me someday
To my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share

코러스

That old rugged cross
That old rugged cross
I surrender now
Lay my trophies down
And exchange it someday
For a crown
That old rugged cross
