Traditional - Old rugged cross
(verse 1)
A D Bm
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
E A
The emblem of suffering and shame;
D Bm
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
E E7 A
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
(chorus)
E A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
D A
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
A7 D
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
A E A
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.
(chorus)
E A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
D A
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
A7 D
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
A E A
And exchange it some day for a crown.
(verse 3)
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.
(chorus)
E A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
D A
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
A7 D
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
A E A
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To the 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.
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
