Hymns - On a Hill Far Away - Текст песни

1. 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.
 * Refrain:
 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.
 2. Oh, 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 the 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.
