Lyrics
I'll exchange it some day for a crown
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of sufferin' and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
Of a world of lost sinners were 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
Oh, that old rugged cross so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction to me
Where the dear Lamb of God left his glories above
To bear it on old Calvary
Oh, so I'll cling to the old rugged cross
Where my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it one day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
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
