The Old Rugged Cross

1 4 2m
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
5 1 5
The emblem of suffering and shame
1 4 2m
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
5 1
For a world of lost sinners was slain
 

5 1
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross)
4 1
Till my trophies at last I lay down
4
I will cling to the old rugged (old rugged) cross
1 5 1
And exchange it someday for a crown
 

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away
Where His glory forever I’ll share
