Important for my friend to have the lyrics of Old Rugged Cross
sung at her Grandmother's funeral.

Thanks!

On a hill far away,
stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suff'ring and shame.

But I love that old cross,
where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cling to the old rugged cross,
till my burdens at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it someday for a crown.

That's all I can remember; long time since childhood. Hope it helps.

The Old Rugged Cross

vs 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:
So I'll cherish to the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;


I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it someday for a crown.

vs 2
Oh, that old rugged cross,
so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction to me;

For that dear Lamb of God
left his Glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary.

Chorus

vs 3
In the old rugged cross,
stained with blood so divine,
A wondrus beauty I see;

For 'twas on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.

Chorus

vs 4
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.

Chorus

God be with you.
