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
