The Old Rugged Cross

[Intro]
G D G

[Verse 1]
G C G C D7 C D G
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame;
G C G C D7 C D D7 G
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best, for a world of lost sinners was slain.

[Chorus]
D G C G D
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down;
G G7 C Am G D G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.

[Verse 2]
G C G C D7 C D G
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; its shame and reproach gladly bear;
G C G C D7 C D D7 G
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away, where His glory forever I’ll share.

[Chorus]
D G C G D
And I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down;
G G7 C Am G D G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.

[Outro]
G G7 C Am G D C G
I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.
