Verse 1

     E2                     A

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

    B         A             E2

The emblem of suff'ring and shame

       E2                           A

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

      B                         E2

For a world of lost sinners was slain



Chorus 1

E/G#     B                      E2

So  I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        A                      E2

Till my trophies at last I lay down

       E2                      A  E/G# F#m7

I will cling to the old rugged cross

      E2             B         E2

And exchange it some day for a crown



Verse 2

       C#2                    F#

Oh the old rugged cross so despised by the world

      G#         F#          C#2 

Has a wondrous attraction for me

        C#2                       F#

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above

   G#         F#        C#2

To bear it to dark Calvary



Chorus 2

C#/F     G#                     C#   C#sus C#

So  I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        F#                     C#2

Till my trophies at last I lay down

       C#2                     F#   D#m7

I will cling to the old rugged cross

      C#2            G#       C#2

And exchange it some day for a crown

Verse 3

[back to  ]

       F2                            Bb

In the old rugged cross stained with blood so divine

  C        Bb       F              F     

A wondrous beauty I see; for 'twas on that old cross

      Bb                   C          Bb F/A Gm7 F

Jesus suffered and died to pardon and sancti-fy  me
