[00:00.00]The Old Rugged Cross - The Joslin Grove Choral Society
[00:15.21]On a hill far away
[00:18.89]Stood an old rugged Cross
[00:22.49]The emblem of suffering and shame
[00:29.64]And I love that old
[00:32.00]Cross where the dearest and best
[00:36.85]For a world of lost sinners was slain
[00:44.20]So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
[00:51.36]Till my trophies at last I lay down
[00:58.61]I will cling to the old rugged Cross
[01:05.73]And exchange it some day for a crown
[01:13.20]Oh that old rugged cross
[01:16.72]So despised by the world
[01:20.28]Has a wondrous attraction for me
[01:27.45]For the dear Lamb of God left
[01:31.42]His glory above
[01:34.67]To bear it to dark Calvary
[01:41.84]So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
[01:49.14]Till my trophies at last I lay down
[01:56.36]I will cling to the old rugged Cross
[02:03.49]And exchange it some day for a crown
[02:10.74]To the old rugged Cross
[02:14.68]I will ever be true
[02:18.05]It's shame and reproach gladly beam
[02:25.23]Then He'll call me some
[02:27.67]Day to my home far away
[02:32.48]Where his glory forever I'll share
[02:39.58]So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
[02:46.84]Till my trophies at last I lay down
[02:54.02]I will cling to the old rugged Cross
[03:01.29]And exchange it some day for a crown
[03:08.54]And exchange it some day for a crown
