G C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
D C D G D
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
G C
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
D C D G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
D G
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G D
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G Am D G D
And exchange it someday for a crown.
G C
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
D C D G D
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
G C
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
D C D G
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain:
D G
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G D
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G Am D G D
And exchange it someday for a crown.
G C
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
D C D G D
A wondrous beauty I see,
G C
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
D C D G
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain:
D G
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G D
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G Am D G D
And exchange it someday for a crown.
G C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
D C D G D
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
G C
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
D C D G
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
Refrain:
D G
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G D
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G Am D G D
And exchange it someday for a crown.
