“Refrain:”

When we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy,

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

as thou hast been thou forever will be.

Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!

as thou hast been thou forever will be.

Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!

At the cross

I rejoice in my Redeemer

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,

and opened the lifegate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing,

Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

He'll prepare for us a place.

When we all get to heaven,

And to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

As nothing else can do.

I love to tell the story,

he tells me every care on him to roll.

He's the Lily of the Valley,
