[A] [F#m]
[A] On [B]
[E] a hill far away [A] stood an old rugged cross, [B] the emblem of suffering [E] and shame.
And I love that old cross [A] where the dearest and best [B] for a world [F#m] of lost [B] sinners [E] was slain.
[B] So I'll cherish the old [E] rugged cross [A] [E] till [A]
my trophies at last I [E] lay down.
I will cling to the old [A] rugged cross and
[E] exchange it [B] someday for [E] a crown.
To the old rugged cross I [A] will ever be true, [B] its shame and reproach [E] gladly bear.
Then he'll call me someday [A] to my home far away [B] where his glory forever
[E] I'll share.
[B] So I'll cherish the old [E] rugged cross till my [A] trophies at last I [E] lay down.
I will cling to the old [A] rugged cross and [E] exchange [B] it [E] [B] someday for [E] a crown.
