Old Rugged Cross Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]On a hill far away stood
an [C]old rugged cross
The [D]emblem of suffering and [G]shame
And I love that old cross
where the [Cm]dearest [C]and best
For a [D]world of lost sinners was [G]slain
So I'll [D]cherish the old rugged [G]cross
Till my [C]trophies at last I [G]lay down
I will cling to the old rugged [C]cross
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a [G]crown

[Verse 2]
O that [G]old rugged cross,
so [C]despised by the world
Has [D]a wondrous attraction f[G]or me
[D]For the [G]dear Lamb of God
left [C]His glory above
[D]To bear it to dark Calvary
[G]So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And [D]exchange it some day

[Verse 3]
for a crown
[D]In that old rugged [G]cross,
stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For 'twas on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me
So I'll [C]cherish the old rugged
cross
Till my trophies at last I [G]lay down
I will cling to the old [C]rugged cross
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a
[G]crown

[Verse 4]
To the [G]old rugged cross I will [Cm]ever be [C]true
Its [D]shame and reproach gladly [G]bear
Then He'll call me some day
to [C]my home far away
Where [D]His glory forever [G]I'll share
So I'll [D]cherish the old rugged [G]cross
Till my [C]trophies at last I lay [G]down
[D]I will c[G]ling to the o[D]ld r[G]ugged c[C]ross
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a [G]crown
