F  C7  F

[Verse 1]
                         Bb         G
On a hill far away is an old rugged cross
    C         C7            F      C
The emblem of suffering and shame
  F                             Bb          G
I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      C             C7          F
For a world of lost sinners was slain


[Verse 2]
     C                      F
I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
        Bb                     F     C
Till my trophies at last I lay down
       F                       Bb
I will cling to the old rugged cross
      F             C         F
And exchange it someday for a crown
