Текст песни The Old Rugged Cross - Don Moen

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
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
In the old rugged cross, stained with Blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For t′was on that old Cross, Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me
So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
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
It′s 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
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
And exchange it some day for a crown
