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