Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][G][G]

[Verse 1]
On a [G]hill far away stood an [C]old rugged Cross
The [D]emblem of suffering and [G]shame
And I [G]love that old Cross
where the [C]dearest and best
For a [D]world of lost sinners was [G]slain

[Chorus 1]
So I'll [D]cherish the old rugged [G]Cross
'Til my [C]trophies at last I lay [G]down[D]
And I will [G]cling to the [G]old rugged [C]Cross[Am]
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a [G]crown[D]

[Verse 2]
To the [G]old rugged Cross I will [C]ever be true
Its [D]shame and reproach gladly [G]bear
Then He'll [G]call me someday
to my [C]home far away
Where His [D]glory forever I'll [G]share

[Chorus 2]
And I'll [D]cherish the old rugged [G]Cross
'Til my [C]trophies at last I lay [G]down[D]
And I will [G]cling to the [G]old rugged [C]Cross[Am]
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a [G]crown[D]
I will [G]cling to the [G]old rugged [C]Cross[Am]
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a [C]crown[G]
