Lyrics start out -
On the cross of Calvary our blessed Saviour died
Gave His life to save the world from loss
In His pain and agony, for every sin to hide
Shed the blood that stained the old rugged cross
'Twas His blood, His precious blood that stained the old rugged cross
'Twas His love that paid the awful cost
Oh soul so far astray come and plunge today
In the blood that stained the old rugged cross
NOTE: Not to be confused with the much more well knows The Old Rugged Cross with lyrics that start out -
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 - Published by
