INTRO 
 
 
     A                       D 
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross, 
    E                       A    E 
The emblem of suffering and sin. 
      A                              D 
And I love that old cross, where the dearest and best, 
      E                         A 
For a world of lost sinners was slain. 
 
 
 
         E                      A 
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross, 
         D                      A 
Until my trophies at last I lay down. 
                    A7         D 
I will cling to the old rugged cross, 
      A              E7        A     E 
And exchange it some day for a crown. 
 
 
 
       A                        D 
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true, 
    E                         A    E 
Its shame and reproach gladly bear. 
            A                       D 
And they'll call me some day, to my home far away, 
          E                  A 
Where his glory forever I'll share. 
 
 
 
         E                      A 
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross, 
         D                      A 
Until my trophies at last I lay down. 
                    A7         D 
I will cling to the old rugged cross, 
      A              E7        A     E 
And exchange it some day for a crown. 
       A            A7         D 
I will cling to the old rugged cross, 
      A              E7        D      A 
And exchange it some day for a crown.
