On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross Em uma colina distante, havia uma velha rude cruz The emblem of suffering and shame The emblem of suffering and shame O emblema de sofrimento e vergonha And I love that old cross where the dearest and best And I love that old cross where the dearest and best E eu amo essa cruz antiga, onde o mais querido e melhor For a world of lost sinners was slain For a world of lost sinners was slain Por um mundo de pecadores perdidos foi morto So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross Então, eu vou valorizar a velha e rude cruz ‘Till my trophies at last I lay down ‘Till my trophies at last I lay down "Até meus troféus no último deitei I will cling to the old rugged cross I will cling to the old rugged cross Vou agarrar-se à velha e rude cruz And exchange it some day for a crown And exchange it some day for a crown E trocá-lo algum dia por uma coroa
