[D]
[G]
On a hill far away [C] stood an old [Am] rugged cross, [D] The emblem of suffering [G] and shame.
And I love that old cross [C] where the dearest [Am] and best [D] For a world of lost sinners [G] was slain.
So [D] I'll cherish the old [G] rugged cross Till [C] my trophies at last I [G] lay down.
[D]
[G] I will cling to the old rugged [C] cross [Am] And [D] exchange it someday for [G] a crown.
[D]
[G]
And that old rugged cross, [C] stained with blood [Am] so divine, [D] A wondrous beauty [G] I see.
For t'was on that old cross [C] Jesus [Am] suffered and died [D] To pardon and sanctify [G] me.
So [D] I'll cherish the old [G] rugged cross Till [C] my trophies at last I [G] lay down.
[D]
[G] I will cling to the old [C] rugged cross [Am]
And [G] exchange it [D] someday for [G] a crown.
To the old rugged cross [C] I will ever [Am] be true, [D] Its shame and reproach [G] gladly bear.
[G] Then you call me someday [C] to my home [Am] far away, [D] Where His glory forever [G] I'll share.
[D] So I'll cherish the old [G] rugged cross Till [C] my trophies at last I [G] lay down.
[D]
[F#m] [G] I will cling to the old [C] rugged cross [Am]
And [G] exchange it [D] someday for [G] a crown.
[D] Yes, [G] I'll cling to the old [C] rugged cross [Am]
And [G] exchange [D] it someday for [C] a crown.
[G]
