Hymn Lyrics

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.

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..

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..

To the 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..

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ my God!

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down!

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt of life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

‘til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

పాపాల భారంబు మోసి

పల్లవి: పాపాల భారంబు మోసి - పరితాప మొందేటి ప్రజల

ప్రభు యేసు రమ్మని పిలిచె - పరిపూర్ణ విశ్రాంతి నీయ .. పాపాల..

1. లొకాశలకు నీవు లొంగి - లోలోన కుములుచు క్రుంగి

లొకాశలకు నీవు లొంగి - లోలోన కుములుచు క్రుంగి

ఎదలోన ఎండి నశించి - ఎడుగేమి లేక కృశించి

ప్రభు యేసు పిలుచుచు నుండ - పరితృప్తి నొందలేవా

ప్రభు యేసు పిలుచుచు నుండ - పరితృప్తి నొందలేవా .. పాపాల..

2. జీవించ నీవు వేసారి - పయనించు ఓ బాటసారి

జీవించ నీవు వేసారి - పయనించు ఓ బాటసారి

ఇంకెంత కాలమీ బ్రతుకు - ఇకనైన తీరని బరువు

నీ భారమంతయు మోసి - విశ్రాంతినీయ నేసు

నీ భారమంతయు మోసి - విశ్రాంతినీయ నేసు .. పాపాల..

కనుమా సిలువపై

పల్లవి: కనుమా సిలువపై క్రీస్తేసుడు పొందిన శ్రమలు
మనకై సిలువపై మేకులతో కొట్టబడెను

కనుమా సిలువపై క్రీస్తేసుడు పొందిన శ్రమలు
మనకై సిలువపై మేకులతో కొట్టబడెను

1. ఘన దేవుడు మనపై తన ప్రేమను చూపెను

ప్రియమైన తన కుమారుని ఈ ధరకే పంపెను

ఘన దేవుడు మనపై తన ప్రేమను చూపెను

ప్రియమైన తన కుమారుని ఈ ధరకే పంపెను

ఎవరైతే దేవుని నమ్మకుందురో వారు నశింతురు (2X)

కనుమా సిలువపై క్రీస్తేసుడు పొందిన శ్రమలు
మనకై సిలువపై మేకులతో కొట్టబడెను

2. బరువైన సిలువ మోస్తూ నడవలేక నడిచెను

కొరడాల దెబ్బలతో తడబడుచు నడిచెను

బరువైన సిలువ మోస్తూ నడవలేక నడిచెను

కొరడాల దెబ్బలతో తడబడుచు నడిచెను

అలసి, సొలసి, నిస్సాహాయుడై తాను నిలిచెను (2X) .. కనుమా సిలువపై..
