Verse 1
G
D
G
On a hill far away stood
C
an old rugged cross,
D
The emblem of suff'ring
G
and shame;
And I love that old cross
C
where the dearest and best
D
For a world of lost sinners
was slain.
G
Verse 2
[Chorus]
D
G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
C
G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G
And exchange it some
D
G
day for a crown.
Verse 3
G
Oh, that old rugged cross,
C
so despised by the world,
D
G
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God
C
left His glory above
D
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Verse 4
G
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.
Verse 5
G
C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
D
Its shame and reproach
G
gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day
C
to my home far away,
D
G
Where His glory forever I'll share.
