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 bestfor 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 someday for a crown. oh that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,has a wondrous attraction for me for the dear lamb of god left his glory aboveto bear it to dark calvary. in that 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 someday to my home far away,where his glory forever i'll share. o sacred head, now wounded,with grief and shame weighed down now scornfully surrounded with thorns, thine only crown. how pale thou art with anguish,with sore abuse and scorn! how does that visage languish,which once was bright as morn! what thou, my lord, hast suffered,was all for sinners' gain mine, mine was the transgression,but thine the deadly pain. lo, here i fall, my savior,'tis i deserve thy place look on me with thy favor,assist me with thy grace.

what language shall i borrowto thank thee, dearest friend for this thy dying sorrow,thy pity without end? o make me thine forever,and should i fainting be lord, let me never, neveroutlive my love to thee. what wondrous love is this, o my soul, o my soul!what wondrous love is this, o my soul! what wondrous love is thisthat caused the lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,to bear the dreadful curse for my soul? when i was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,when i was sinking down, sinking down when i was sinking downbeneath god's righteous frown

christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,christ laid aside his crown for my soul. to god and to the lamb, i will sing, i will sing,to god and to the lamb, i will sing to god and to the lambwho is the great i am while millions join the theme, i will sing, i will sing,while millions join the theme, i will sing. and when from death i'm free, i'll sing on, i'll sing on,and when from death i'm free, i'll sing on and when from death i'm free,i'll sing and joyful be and through eternity, i'll sing on, i'll sing on,and through eternity i'll sing on. king of my life, i crown thee now,thine shall the glory be lest i forget thy thorn-crowned brow,lead me to calvary.

lest i forget gethsemane,lest i forget thine agony lest i forget thy love for me,lead me to calvary. show me the tomb where thou wast laid,tenderly mourned and wept angels in robes of light arrayedguarded thee whilst thou slept. let me like mary, through the gloom,come with a gift to thee show to me now the empty tomb,lead me to calvary. lest i forget thy love for me,lead me to calvary, lead me to calvary. were you therewhen they crucified my lord? o-o-o-oh

sometimes it causes me totremble, tremble, tremble! were you therewhen they nailed him to the tree? were you therewhen they laid him in the tomb? were you therewhen he rose up from the dead? sometimes i feel like shoutingglory, glory, glory! alas! and did my savior bleed,and did my sovereign die? would he devote that sacred headfor sinners such as i? at the cross, at the cross where i first saw the light,and the burden of my heart rolled away it was there by faith i received my sight,and now i am happy all the day!

was it for crimes that i had donehe groaned upon the tree? amazing pity, grace unknown,and love beyond degree! thus might i hide my blushing facewhile his dear cross appears dissolve my heart in thankfulness,and melt my eyes to tears. well might the sun in darkness hideand shut his glories in when christ the great redeemer diedfor man the creature's sin. but drops of grief can ne'er repaythe debt of love i owe here, lord, i give my self away,'tis all that i can do. oh, the blood of jesus,oh, the blood of jesus

oh, the blood of jesus,it washes white as snow. oh, the blood of jesus,it cleanses me from sin. i will sing of my redeemer,and his wondrous love to me on the cruel cross he suffered,from the curse to set me free. sing oh sing of my redeemer,with his blood he purchased me on the cross he sealed my pardon,paid the debt, and made me free. i will tell the wondrous story,how my lost estate to save in his boundless love and mercy,he the ransom freely gave. i will praise my dear redeemer,his triumphant power i'll tell

how the victory he givethover sin, and death, and hell. i will sing of my redeemerand his heavenly love to me he from death to life has brought me,son of god, with him to be. down at the cross where my savior died,down where for cleansing from sin i cried there to my heart was the blood applied;glory to his name! glory to his name,glory to his name, i am so wondrously saved from sin,jesus so sweetly abides within there at the cross where he took me in;glory to his name! oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,i am so glad i have entered in
