The Old Rugged Cross

Author: George Bennard Meter: Irregular Appears in 388 hymnals Topics: Christ Atonement, Crucifixion, Suffering and Death First Line: On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross Refrain First Line: So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Lyrics: 1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff'ring and shame; And I love that old cross where 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 someday for a crown. 2 O the 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. [Refrain] 3 In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see; For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain] 4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear. Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away, Where His glory forever I’ll share. [Refrain] Used With Tune: OLD RUGGED CROSS

"'Tis finish'd!" - so the Saviour cried

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 392 hymnals Topics: Sufferings and Death of Christ Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd— so the Saviour creid, And meekly bow'd his head and died; 'Tis finished— yes, the race is run, The battle fought, the vict'ry won. 2 'Tis finish'd!— all that heav'n decreed, And all the ancient prophets said, Is now fulfilled, as long design'd, In thee the Saviour of mankind. 3 'Tis finish'd!— Aaron now no more Must stain his robes with purple gore. The sacred veil is rent in twain, And Jewish rites no more remain. 4 'Tis finish'd!— man is reconcil'd, To God, and pow'rs of darkness spoil'd. Peace, love, and happiness again Return and dwell with sinful men. 5 'Tis finish'd!— let the joyful sound Be heard thro' all the nations round. 'Tis finish'd!— let the echo fly Thro' heav'n and hell, thro' earth and sky!
