On a hill far away stood [Gb] an old rugged [Eb] cross,
emblem of suffering [Db]
and shame.
And [Db] I love that old cross, where [Gb] the dearest [Eb] and best
world of lost [Db] sinners was slain.
So [Ab] I'll cherish the old [Ab] rugged [Db] cross,
[Gb] Till my trophies at [F] last I [Db] lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged [Gb] cross,

On a hill _ far _ away stood [Gb] an _ old rugged [Eb] _ cross,
The [Ab] _
emblem of _ suffering _ [Db]
and shame.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _
And [Db] I love _ that old cross, where [Gb] the _ dearest [Eb] and _ best
[Ab] For a world of lost _ [Db] sinners was _ _ _ _ _ slain.
So [Ab] I'll cherish the old [Ab] rugged _ [Db] cross, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] Till my _ trophies at [F] last I [Db] lay _ _ _ _ _ down.
I will cling _ to the old rugged [Gb] cross, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] And exchange _ [Ab] it someday _ for a _ crown. _ _ _ _
[Db] To the _ old rugged _ cross I [Gb] will _ ever [Eb] be _ true,
Its [Ab] _ _
shame and reproach _ gladly [Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ bear.
[Db] Then He'll call me someday _ to my [Gb] _ home [Ab] far [Eb] away,
_ Where His [Ab] _
glory _ _ forever _ I'll [Db] _ share. _ _ _ _
So [Ab] I'll cherish _ the old [Ab] rugged _ [Db] cross, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] Till my _ trophies at [Eb] last I [Db] lay _ _ _ down. _ _ _
I will cling _ to the old _ rugged [Gb] cross, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] And exchange _ it someday _ for a [Db] _ crown.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Our Lord was near death when He gave this cry,
[Ab] Ali, _ Ali, [F] lama sabachthani,
_ _ [Bb] My God, my God, [Bb] why hast thou forsaken [Eb] me?
_ Think of the tremendous love and devotion
That our Lord had in suffering such shame and such agony
[Ab] As He was on that old [F] rugged cross.
_ _ We'll [Bb] exchange _ it someday _ _ for [Eb] a crown. _ _ _ _ _
So I'll cherish _ the old rugged _ [Eb] cross, _ _
_ _ _ Till [Ab] my _ _ trophies at [G] last I [Eb] lay _ _ _ _ _ down.
I will cling _ to the old rugged [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ cross,
_ And [Bb] exchange it _ someday _ for a [Ebm] crown.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] And exchange _ it _ [F] someday _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] for _ [B] a crown.
