♫ Intro:

F#m D E



♫ Verse 1:
F#m
On a hill far away
         D
stood an old rugged cross
    E                        F#m
the emblaim of suffering and shame

and I love that old cross
          D
where the dearest and best
      E                         A
for a world of lost sinners was slain

♫ Chorus:
        E                  A
So I'll cherrish the old rugged cross
        D                   A
till my trophies at last I lay down
                           D
I will cling to the old rugged cross
     E                    F#m
and exchange it someday for a crown

♫ Verse 2:

To the old rugged cross
       D
I will ever be true
     E                       F#m
It's shame and reproach gladly bear

then he'll call me someday
      D
to my home far away
          E                  A
where his glory forever I'll share

♫ Chorus:
        E                   A
So I'll cherrish the old rugged cross
        D                      A
till my trophies at last I lay down
                           D
I will cling to the old rugged cross
     E                      A
and exchange it someday for a crown

Glory to his name
D         A
Glory to his name

there on that cross was the blood applied
      E      A
Glory to his name
A
Glory to his name
D         A
Glory to his name

there on that cross was the blood applied
      E      A
Glory to his name

     E                             A
and exchange it someday for a crown
