[Verse]~
G C C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,,
D D G G
The emblem of suffering and shame,,
G G C C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
D D G G
For a world of lost sinners was slain!
[Chorus]~
D D G G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,,
C C G G
Till my trophies at last I lay down,,
G G C C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,,
D D G G
And exchange it some day for a crown!
[Verse]~
G G C C
Oh,, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world
D D G G
Has a wondrous attraction for me
G G C C
For the dear Lamb of God,, left his Glory above
D D G G
To bear it to dark Calvary
[Chorus]~
D D G G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,,
C C G G
Till my trophies at last I lay down,,
G G C C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,,
D D G G
And exchange it some day for a crown!
[Verse]~
G G C C
In the old rugged Cross,, stain'd with blood so divine
D D G G
A wondrous beauty I see
G G C C
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
D D G G
To pardon and sanctify me
[Chorus]~
D D G G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,,
C C G G
Till my trophies at last I lay down,,
G G C C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,,
D D G G
And exchange it some day for a crown!
[Verse]~
G G C C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,,
D D G G
It's shame and reproach gladly bear,,
G G C C
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,,
D G G G
Where his glory forever I'll share!
[Chorus]~
D D G G
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
C C G G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
G G C C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
G D G G
And exchange it some day for a crown
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suff'ring and shame
And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
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
Oh, 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
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
In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To pardon and sanctify me
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
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
