Intro
Em C D Em
Verse
Em C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
D Em
the emblem of suffering and shame;
Em C
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
D G
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Chorus
D G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G
till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G D Em
and exchange it some day for a crown.
Em C D Em
Verse 2
Em C
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
D Em
a wondrous beauty I see,
Em C
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
D G
to pardon and sanctify me.
Chorus
D G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G
till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G D Em
and exchange it some day for a crown.
Em C D Em
Verse 3
Em C
To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
D Em
its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Em C
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
D G
where his glory forever I'll share.
Chorus
D G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G
till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G D G
and exchange it some day for a crown.
