V[D7]ers[G]e 1
O[G]n a hill far away stood a ol[C]d rugged cross
The embl[D7]em of suffering and sham[G]e
And i love that old cross where the[C] dearest and best
For a wor[D]ld of lost sinners was s[G]lain
Chorus
So I'll che[D]rish the old rugged cro[G]ss
Till my tro[C]phies at last I lay d[G]own [D]
I will c[G]ling to the o[G7]ld rugged c[C]ross [Am7]
And exchang[G]e it some d[D]ay for a [G]crown [D]
Verse 2
To the old r[G]ugged cross i will e[C]ver be true
It's sh[D]ame and reproach gladly [G]bear
Then he'll call me some day to my [C]home far away
Where his [D]glory forever I'll [G]share
