Verse 1

F7   Bb                     Eb

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

C   F7        Eb            Bb 

The emblem of suff'ring and shame

                                    Eb

And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best

C     F7            Eb Bb   F   Bb

For a world of lost sinners was slain



Chorus

        F                       Bb           Eb                     Bb

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last I lay down

                               Eb           Bb F         F7         Bb

I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown



Verse 2

         Bb                      Eb

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world

C     F7                      Bb

Has a wondrous attraction for me

                                  Eb

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above

C  F7                   Bb

To bear it to dark Calvary



[Chorus]



Verse 3

       Bb                             Eb

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine

C F7                Bb

A wondrous beauty I see

                                  Eb

For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

C  F7

To pardon and sanctify me



[Chorus]



Verse 4

       Bb                      Eb

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true

C   F7                        Bb

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

                                 Eb

Then He'll call me someday to my home far away

C         F7                 Bb

Where His glory forever I'll share



[Chorus]
