Merle Haggard - Old Rugged Cross lyrics

rate me

(George Bernard)

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 word of lost sinners were slain.

--- Instrumental ---

I will 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...
