[Dm] [C] [Dm] [C]
[Dm] [C]
On a hill far away [F] stood an old [Dm] rugged cross, [Am] [G] an emblem of suffering [Dm] [C] and shame.
[F] And [C] I loved [E] that old cross for [F] the day it stands thus, [G] for a world of lost sinners [Dm] [C] was slain.
So [Bm]
[Am] [G] I'll [C] cherish [G] this old [C] rugged cross [F] [C] till [F] my troth is at last [C] laid down.
[F] [C]
I will bring to the old [F] rugged wall [Dm] my life [C] and exchange [Am] it [G] someday for [C] a crown.
[Em] [Eb]
[Dm] [C] And that old rugged cross, [Am] [F] stained with blood, [Dm] so divine, [G] wondrous and [Dm] beauty [C] I see.
[F] It
[G] [C] was on that old cross [F] where Jesus [Dm] suffered and [F] died, [G] took pardon and sank death [C] by me.
And this [G] one may be better [Am] sung.
[G] So I'll cherish this [C] old [G] [C] rugged [F] [C]
[F] cross till my troth is [C] at last laid [F] down.
[B] I'll say [C] I will bring to the old rugged [F] wall [Dm]
[C] my life and exchange it [G] someday for [C] a [C] [Eb]
[Dm] [C] crown.
