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

[Chorus]
E A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
D A
Till my trophies at last I lay down
D
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E A
And exchange it someday for a crown

[Verse]
A D
O the old rugged cross so despised by the world
E A
Has a wondrous attraction for me
D
For the dear lamb of God left His glory above
A E A
To bear it to dark Calvary

[Chorus]
E A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
D A
Till my trophies at last I lay down
D
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E A
And exchange it someday for a crown
