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
where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Reff:
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.
O 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 beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
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.
Di bukit yang jauh kulihat salib kayu
Yang tua dan amat hina
Yesus yang dipalang pada salib itu
Sembuhkan yang hancur hatinya
Reff:
Hendaklah kucinta salib-Nya
Sampai ku menghadap takhta-Nya
Tak lagi ku lepas salib-Nya
Sampai ku t'rima mahkota-Nya
Salib-Nya yang hina, yang dunia tak t'rima
Bagiku amat berharga
Juga bagi saya salib di Golgota
Menghapuskan segala dosa (reff)
