THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
The Old Rugged Cross
Author: George Bennard Meter: Irregular Appears in 345 hymnals 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.
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.
2. 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.
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.
3. In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
Such a wonderful beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
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.
4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
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.

На далеком холме
Author: George Bennard; Unknown Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: На далеком холме старый крест виден мне Refrain First Line: Старый крест осудил суету Lyrics: 1 На далеком холме старый крест виден мне,
Знак позора, страданий и мук.
О кресте мы поем потому, что на нем
Был распят лучший грешников Друг.
Припев:
Старый крест осудил суету,
Дал покой для усталых сердец.
Я душою прильнул ко кресту,
Чрез него обрету я венец.
2 Старый крест позабыт. Мир в погибель спешит.
Крест Христов - наша сила и честь.
Вечный с неба сходил, на земле в теле жил,
Чтоб его на Голгофу отнесть. [Припев]
3 Старый крест обагрен, но не страшен мне он,
В нем открылась нам Божья любовь.
Кровь Иисуса Христа пролилась со креста,
Чтоб меня искупить от грехов. [Припев]
4 Старый крест возвещать и к Христу призывать,—
Вот на что я себя отдаю.
По скитаньи земном перейду в вечный дом,
Он меня примет в славу свою. [Припев] Used With Tune: [На далеком холме старый крест виден мне]

Person Name: Ismeretlen Translator of "A Régi Kereszt" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
