A D
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
E A E
The emblem of suffering and shame
A D
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
E A
For a world of lost sinners was slain

[Chorus]

And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
D E A
until my trophies at last I lay down
D
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E A
And exchange it some day for a ]crown

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
D E A
until my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E A
And exchange it some day for a ]crown
