The rugged cross is all my gain
- The rugged cross is all my gain
There the great sacrifice was made
There the Saviour was crucified
And there He bled and died for me
- What could have moved His heart to bear
And to suffer for all my sins?
Not knowing why, is the reason
My heart is so cold towards Thee
- Silently, there I grew ashamed
Before my Holy Saviour, Lord
Who shed His life blood for my sake
His love to me, beyond compare
