The Old Rugged Cross

A         A7            D       
On a hill far away stood an old 
    B7
rugged cross,
     E          E7           A
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
       A             A7           
And I love that old cross where 
    D          B7
the dearest and best
       E             E7       
For a world of lost sinners was 
   A
slain.

              E          E7       
     So I'll cherish the old 
   A
rugged cross.

              D                    
     Till my trophies at last I lay
   A
 down;
             A                     
     I will cling to the old rugged
  D
 cross,
           A               E      
     And exchange it some day for 
   A
a crown.

Oh that old rugged cross, so 
despised by the world.
Has a wondrous attraction for me,
For the dear Lamb of God left His 
glory above,
To bear it to dark cavalry.

In the old rugged cross, stained 
with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see.
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus 
suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.

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