The Old Rugged Cross

D7 G


[Verse 1]

G                           C
On a hill far away stood a old 
rugged cross
        D7                      G
The emblem of suffering and shame
And i love that old cross where the 
C
dearest and best
         D                     
For a world of lost sinners was 
  G
slain


[Chorus]

          D                      G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
           C                    G 
Till my trophies at last I lay 
   D
down
        G            G7         C
I will cling to the old rugged 
     Am7
cross
           G          D        G 
And exchange it some day for a 
     D
crown


[Verse 2]

           G                   C
To the old rugged cross i will ever 
be true
       D                       G
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me some day to my 
C
home far away
          D                  G
Where his glory forever I'll share


[Chorus 2]

          D                      G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
           C                    G 
Till my trophies at last I lay 
   D
down
        G            G7         C
I will cling to the old rugged 
     Am7
cross
           G          D        G 
And exchange it some day for a 
     D
crown
        G            G7         C
I will cling to the old rugged 
     Am7
cross
           G         D            
And exchange it some day for a 
C          G
crown
