[Ebm] [Bb]
[F] [Eb]
[Ebm] [Bb] On a hill far away [Eb] stood an old rugged cross, [F] the emblem of suffering [Bb] and shame.
[F] [Eb] How [F] [Bb] I love that old cross, [Eb] where the dearest [C] and best, [F] for a world of lost sinners [Bb] was slain.
[F] So [Gm] [F] I'll cherish the old [Bb] rugged cross, [Eb] till my trophies at last I [Bb] lay down.
[Dm] [Gm] [F] [Bb] I will cling to the old [Eb] rugged cross, [Ebm] [Bb] and exchange it [F] someday for [Bb] a crown.
[F] Oh [Bb] that old rugged cross, [Eb] so despised by the world, [F] has a wondrous attraction [Bb] for me.
[F] [Gm] For [F] [Bb] the dear Lamb of God, [Eb] left His glory [C] above, [F] to bear it to dark [Bb] Calvary.
[A] [Gm] So [F] I'll cherish the old [Bb] rugged cross, [Eb] till my trophies at last I [Bb] lay down.
[F] I [Bb] will cling to the old rugged [Eb] cross, [Ebm]
[Bb] and exchange it [F] someday for [Bb] a crown.
[F]
[Bb] Then
[Eb] [Ebm]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] He'll call me someday, [Eb] to my home [C] far away, [F] where His glory forever [Bb] I'll share.
[F]
[Gm] So [F] I'll cherish the old rugged [Bb] cross, till [Eb] my trophies at last I lay [Bb] down.
[F] I [Gm]
[Bb] will cling to the old [Eb] rugged cross, [Ebm]
[Bb] and exchange it [F] someday for [Bb] a crown.
