OLD RUGGED CROSS

                                    E7      A    Adim   A      A/C#         D      Ddim   D
1  On  a   hill far  a-way    stood   an   old    rugged cross,
2  On that old  rugged cross, so        de-spised by the world,
3  In that old  rugged cross, stained with blood  so  di-vine,
4  To the  old  rugged cross  I    will    e  -   ver be true,

   (D)   E            E7            A
1  The   emblem  of   suff'ring and shame;
2  Has a wondrous  at-traction for  me;
3  A     wondrous     beauty   I    see;
4  Its   shame and re-proach gladly bear;

   E7         A    Adim     A     A/C#      D    Ddim      D
1  And   I    love that old cross where the dear-est  and  best
2  For  the   dear Lamb of  God   left His  glo -ry      a-bove,
3  For 'twas  on   that old cross Jesus     suf -fered and died,
4  Then He'll call me some  day   to   my   home far     a-way,

   (D)   E             E7  E6   E    A
1  For a world of lost sin-ners was  slain.
2  To    bear  it  to  dark Cal-va - ry.
3  To    pardon  and   sanc-ti -fy   me.
4  Where His glory for e  - ver I'll share.

Chorus
   E  Esus4 E               Esus4 E   A
   So I'll  cherish the old rug - ged cross,

   (A)     D                E D   A
   Till my trophies at last I lay down;

   (A)                     Asus4 A   D
   I will cling to the old rug - ged cross,

   (D)    A              E         A
   And ex-change it some day for a crown.
