The Old Rugged Cross (古旧十架)

 The Old Rugged Cross
George Bennard, 1873-1958
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.
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 some day for a crown.

2. 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.
(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 that 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.
(Refrain)

1. 各各他山嶺上，矗立古舊十架，是羞辱與痛苦記號；
   神愛子主耶穌，為我們被釘死，這十架是我最愛最寶。
   
   
2. 這古舊十字架，被世人所輕視，我卻以十架為寶貴；
   神愛子主耶穌，捨棄天堂榮華，願背負十架往各各他。
   
   
3. 各各他十字架，雖有血跡斑斑，我看它仍聖潔華美；
   因救主在十架為我罪被釘死，我罪惡全赦免得稱義。
   
   
4. 對這古舊十架，我願永遠忠诚; 甘受世人辱罵恥笑；
   救主快要再來，迎接我到天家，與救主共享永遠榮耀。
   

副歌：故我愛高舉主十字架，願將世上虛榮全放下，
　　　我一生要背負十字架，到那天可換公義冠冕。
