Verse 1
Bepɔ bi so na asɛnnua dedaw bi si, Yaw ne fɛre ho sɛnky'rɛnne. Medɔ asɛnnua dedaw yi a ɛso na Wiase nti wokum' me dɔfo.
Chorus
Na mɛyɛ asɛnnua no atuu, Kosi sɛ mewie me ko no ko: Mɛtwere asɛnnua dedaw no, Na adan me ahenkyɛw da bi.
Verse 2
Asɛnnua a wiase buu no animtia no Twetwe m'adwen sɛ biribi. Efisɛ Nyame 'Guammaa gyaw N'anuonyam s'ro, Bɛsoa kɔɔ Kalbre sum mu hɔ.
Verse 3
Medi asɛnnua gow yi nokware daa daa, Mɛsoa N'aniwu ne fɛre; Na daakye Ɔbɛfrɛ me de me kɔ fie a, Manya N'anuonyam no bi daa.
English Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Chorus
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
To that 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.
