And exchange it some day for a crown
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
A tribute to suff'ring and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So Ill cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay dow-own
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach I'll gladly bear
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever Ill share
So Ill cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay dow-own
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for - a - crown...
