5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
On a hill far a- way,
6 6 -6 -7 -7 -6
stood an old rug-ged cross
-6 -7 -6 6 -5 6 -5 5
The emb-lem of suffer-ing and shame
5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
And I love that old cross, .
6 6 -6 -6 -7 -6
where the dear-est and best
.-6 -6 -7 -6 6 -9 8 -8 7
for a world of lost sin-ners was slain.
chorus
-7 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7
So I’ll cher-ish the old rug-ged cross,
7 -7 -6 -6 -6 7 -7 -6 6
Till my troph-ies at last I lay down.
6 7 8 8 8 8 -9 8 -6
I will cling to the old rug-ged cross
-9 -9 8 -8 7 6 -7 -8 7
And ex-change it some day for a crown.
verse 2
5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
O that old rug-ged cross,
6 6 -6 -6 -7 -6
so de-spised by the world.
-6 -7 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -5 5
Has a wondrous attract-ion for me;
5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
For the dear Lamb of God
6 6 -6 -6 -7 -6
Left His glo ry a – bove
-6 -6 -7 -6 6 -9 8-8 7
To bear it to dark Cal va ry.
verse 3
5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
In the old rug-ged cross,
6 6 -6 -6 – 7 -6
stained with blood so div- ine,
-6 -7 -6 6 -5 -5 5
A won-drous beau-ty I see;
5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
For ’twas on that old cross
6 6 -6 -6 -7 -6
Jesus suf-fered and died,
-6 -6 -7 -6 6 -9 8 7
To par- don and sanc-ti-fy me.
verse 4
5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
To the old rug-ged cross
6 6 -6 -6 – 7 -6
I will ev-er be true,
-6 -7 -6 6 -5 6 -5 5
Its shame and re-proach glad-ly bear;
5 -5 6 -5 -6 6
Then He’ll call me some day
6 6 -6 -7 -7 -6
To my home far a- way,
-6 -6 -7 -6 6 -9 8 -8 7
Where His glo-ry for- ev-er I’ll share.
To God be the glory
