Select language to translate this lyric
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 best
For a world of lost sinners once slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
I'll cherish the old rugged cross
You've restored me, oh God
You've restored me, oh God
By the power of Your name,
You have saved what was lost
You have given me hope
You have given me hope
By the blood that you shed on that Old Rugged Cross
And that Old Rugged Cross
Stained with blood so divine
Wondrous beauty I see
For it was on that old cross,
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me
So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
You've restored me, oh God By the power of Your name,
You have saved what was lost
You have given me hope By the blood that you shed on that Old Rugged Cross
To that Old Rugged Cross
I will ever be true
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
I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
You've restored me, oh God By the power of Your name
You have saved what was lost
You have given me hope By the light that you shed on that Old Rugged Cross
You've restored me, Oh God By the power of Your name
You have saved what was lost
You have given me hope By the blood that you shed on that Old Rugged Cross
So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
