[00:00.00]The Old Rugged Cross - Lillie
[00:07.52]On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
[00:13.96]The emblem of suffering and shame
[00:18.87]
[00:20.71]And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
[00:27.70]For a world of lost sinners was slain
[00:32.82]
[00:34.00]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
[00:40.21]
[00:41.31]Till my trophies at last I lay down
[00:46.92]
[00:48.29]I will cling to the old rugged cross
[00:54.00]
[00:55.12]And exchange it some day for a crown
[01:01.02]
[01:02.21]Oh that old rugged cross so dispised by the world
[01:08.30]
[01:08.83]Has a wondrous attraction for me
[01:13.36]
[01:15.76]For the dear lamb of god left his glory above
[01:21.66]
[01:22.50]To bear it to dark calvary
[01:27.14]
[01:28.96]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
[01:34.52]
[01:35.81]Till my trophies at last I lay down
[01:41.97]
[01:43.20]I will cling to the old rugged cross
[01:49.09]
[01:49.95]And exchange it some day for a crown
[01:55.67]
[01:56.84]In that old rugged cross stained with blood so divine
[02:03.01]
[02:03.68]A wondrous beauty I see
[02:08.36]
[02:10.46]For twas on that old cross jesus suffered and died
[02:17.34]To pardon and sanctify me
[02:22.21]
[02:23.73]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
[02:29.86]
[02:30.98]Till my trophies at last I lay down
[02:36.84]
[02:38.03]I will cling to the old rugged cross
[02:44.11]
[02:44.85]And exchange it someday for a crown
[02:50.32]
[02:51.71]To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
[02:58.55]It's shame and reproach gladly bear
[03:02.87]
[03:05.41]Then he'll call me someday to my home far away
[03:12.25]Where his glory forever I'll share
[03:17.31]
[03:18.61]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
[03:25.14]
[03:25.92]Till my trophies at last I lay down
[03:31.26]
[03:32.87]I will cling to the old rugged cross
[03:39.16]
[03:39.78]And exchange it some day for a crown
