Wonderful old hymn.

I was listening to this hymn this evening and I thought that I would share it with you.....

The Old Rugged Cross.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old cross were the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

refrain

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 some day for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

Has a wondrous attraction for me;

For the dear Lamb of God left his glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary.

In that old rugged cross ,stained with blood so divine,

A wondrous bueaty I see

'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,

To pardon and sanctify me.

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 his home far away,

Were his glory forever I'll share.

~George Bennard.~

That is one of my favorite hymns. It is so wonderful to think that Jesus went though all of that just for us!!!


I hope that you have had a wonderful Sunday....

Love and Prayers,
