This is one of my favorite hymn. Hope it encourages you as much as it did for me.

The Old Rugged Cross

Verse 1

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.

Chorus:

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.

Verse 2

O 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 pardon and sanctify me.

Verse 3

In the 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.

Verse 4

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;

Its shame and reproach gladly bear.

Then He'll call me someday to my home far away.

Where His glory forever I'll share.
