[G] [D]
[Am] [A] [D]
[G] [D] On a hill far away [G] stood an old rugged cross, [E] [A] the emblem of suffering [D] and [G] shame.
[D] And I love that old cross [G] where the dearest and best [E] [A] for a world of lost sinners [D] was [D] slain.
[A] So I'll cherish the old [D] rugged [G] cross [D]
[G] till my trophies at last I lay [D] [G] down.
[D]
I will cling to the [Bm] old [G] rugged cross and [D] exchange it [A] someday [D] for a [G] crown.
[D]
Oh that old rugged cross [G] so despised by the [E] world [A] has a wondrous attraction [D] for me.
[G] [D] For the dear lamb of God [G] left his glory [E] above [A] to bear it to dark
[D] Calvary.
[G] [D] So [A] I'll cherish the old [D] rugged cross [G] till my trophies at last I [D] lay down.

I will cling to the old [G] rugged cross [D] and exchange it [A] someday [D] for a crown.
