Blood That Stained The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics & Chords

By Eleanor A. Schroll

(C)On the cross of Calvary our blessed (F)Savior (C)died,

Gave His life to save the world from (G)loss;

(C)In His pain and agony, for every (F)sin to (C)hide,

Shed the blood that stained the (G)old rugged (C)cross.



Chorus

(C)'Twas His blood, His precious blood that stained the (F)old rugged (C)cross,

'Twas His love that paid the awful (G)cost;

(C)Oh soul so far astray come and (F)plunge (C)today

In the blood that stained the (G)old rugged (C)cross



To the cross, the rugged cross they nailed His precious hands

And in death He fully paid the cost,

There is pardon in His love for everyone that stands

For the blood that stained the old rugged cross



What an awful death He died to pardon you and me,

All alone in agony He tossed,

And a world once lost in sin can now be wholly free

By the blood that stained the old rugged cross.
