Old Rugged Cross

G G7 C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
D G
The emblem of suffering and shame;
G G7 C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
D D7 G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Chorus
D D7 G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G
'Til my trophies at last I lay down;
G G7 C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
G D G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
