Lyrics and Chords
[1] On a hill far away stood an [4] old rugged [2m] cross The [5] emblem of suffering and [1] shame [5] And [1] I love that old cross where the [4] dearest and [2m] best For a [5] world of lost sinners was [1] slain
So I'll [5] cherish the old rugged [1] cross (rugged cross) Till my [4] trophies at last I lay [1] down I will cling to the old rugged [4] (old rugged) cross And ex-[1]-change it some-[5]-day for a [1] 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
