The Old Rugged Cross
VERSE 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.
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 someday for a crown.
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.
CHORUS: 2x
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.

And exchange it someday for a crown.

Matthew 28:16-20
16 The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped, but some doubted. 18 Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still & all alone

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

The angels roar for Christ the King
