THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

Intro: D7-G

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

Chorus
          D7                     G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
         C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down
                                C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
        G            D7         G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

G                               C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
      D7                        G
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
                                   C
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
           D7       C          G
Where his glory forever I'll share.

Repeat Chorus
          D7                     G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
         C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down
                                C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
        G            D7         G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

                                C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
        G            D7         G
And exchange it some day for a crown.
