I
A D
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
E A
The emblem of suff’ring and shame.
D
And I loved that old cross, where the dearest and best
E E7 A
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
E E7 A
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
D A
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
F#7 Bm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E7 A
And exchange it some day for a crown.
II
A D
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
E A
Has a wondrous attraction for me
D
For the dear Lamb of God, left his glory above
E E7 A
To bear it to dark Calvary.
III
A D
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
E A
A wondrous beauty I see, for ‘twas on that old cross
D E E7 A
Jesus suffered and died, to pardon and sanctify me.
IV
A D
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true.
E A
Its shame and reproach gladly bear.
D
The he’ll call me some day, to my home far away.
E E7 A
There his glory for ever I’ll share.
