Verse 1:
     G                      C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    D7                      G      C G
The emblem of suff’ring and shame,
      G                             C
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
      D7                        G     C G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
 
 
Chorus:
        D7                     G
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, (The old rugged cross)
        C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
       G                       C
I will cling to the old rugged cross, (The old rugged cross)
      G              D7        G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Verse 2:
       G                       C
To the old rigged cross I will ever be true
    D7                        G    C G
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
           G                      C
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
          D7                 G      C G
Where His glory forever I'll share
 
 
Chorus:
        D7                     G
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, (The old rugged cross)
        C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
       G                       C
I will cling to the old rugged cross, (The old rugged cross)
      G              D7 N.C.
And exchange it some day for a crown.
