The Old Rugged Cross (Album Version)

The Old Rugged Cross - Patti Page (帕蒂·佩奇)

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 was 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

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

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

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true

It's shame and approach gladly bear

Then he'll call me someday 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 someday for a crown
