The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics And Song

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 in the bible we read of the beauties of heaven and the place christ has gone to prepare and eyes have not seen and ears have not heard what awaits us in heaven in that city.
