The Old Rugged Cross

G C On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross D7 G The emblem of suffering and shame C And I love that old cross where the dearest and best D7 G For a world of lost sinners was slain D7 G So I'll cherish the old rugged cross C G Till my trophies at last I lay down C I will cling to the old rugged cross G D7 G And exchange it someday for a crown C O that old rugged cross so despised by the world D7 G Has a wondrous attraction for me C For the dear lamb of God left His glory above G D7 G To bear it on dark Calvary D7 G So I'll cherish the old rugged cross C G Till my trophies at last I lay down C I will cling to the old rugged cross G D7 G And exchange it someday for a crown
