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
