AbOn a hill far away stood an Dbold rugged cross,
BbThe Eb7emblem of suffering and Abshame,
AbAnd I love that old cross where the Dbdearest and best
BbFor a Eb7world of lost sinners was Abslain.
Eb7So I'll cherish the old rugged Abcross,
Till my Dbtrophies at last I lay Abdown;
I will cling to the old rugged Dbcross,
And Abexchange it some Eb7day for a Abcrown.
