On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suff’ring 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 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. 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. 3. 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. 4. To that 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. Hymns are firmly rooted in God’s Word and, since they are intended to be sung corporately by the fellowship of believers, pull us above our petty differences by reminding us of God’s dream for us – that we would be one. A hymn is meant to be sung corporately. When we gather with other Believers, we sing together praise to God or remind each other just who this God is that we serve. In general, we could think of hymns as those songs of praise and worship we send up to God identifying for all to hear His attributes and thanking Him for His amazing intervention in our world and in our lives. #theoldruggedcross #hymns #psalterhymnal #hymnswithlyrics #hymnlyrics #reformedchurch #reformedmusic #reformedworship #dailydevotions #morningprayer #praiseandworship #hymns #dailybiblereadingguide #prayer #quiettime #worship #timesofrefreshing #devotion #eveningprayer
