								##Verse 1:##
%     G         G7           C           A7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
%    D          D7            G
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
%      G             G7               C           A7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
%       D             D7          G    C  G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

##Verse 2:##
%        G           G7           C            A7
Oh that old rugged cross, so despised by the world.
%      D           D7          G
Has a wondrous attraction for me,
%        G            G7           C      A7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
%   D          D7        G   C  G
To bear it to dark cavalry.

##Chorus:##
%         D          D7         G   C  G  
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross. 
%        C                      G   C  G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
%            G           G7          C    A7
     I will cling to the old rugged cross,
%      G              D         G     C  G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

##Verse 3:##
%       G           G7                 C          A7
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
%   D       D7       G 
A wondrous beauty I see.
%          G            G7           C           A7
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
%   D          D7       G   C  G
To pardon and sanctify me.

##Verse 4:##
%       G           G7           C        A7
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true,
%     D           D7           G 
Its shame and reproach gladly bear,
%           G            G7        C         A7
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
%          D        D7         G    C  G
Where His glory forever I'll share.
