On the cross of calvary a blessed Saviour died

Gave his life to save the world from loss

In his pain and agony for every sin to hide

It's the blood that stained the old rugged cross

Was his blood his precious blood that stained the old rugged cross

Was his blood that paid all the cost

Oh so so far astray come and plunge today

In the blood that stained the old rugged cross

[ guitar ]

To the cross the rugged cross they nailed his precious hands

And in death he fully paid the cost

There is heart and there is love for everyone that stand

By a blood that stained the old rugged cross

Was his blood his precious blood...
