The Old Rugged Cross

C  F  C
Verse:
           C
On a hill far away
                     F
Stood an old rugged Cross
        G                                          C
The emblem of suffering and shame
           C
And I love that old Cross
                     F
Where the Dearest and Best
            G                                        C
For a world of lost sinners was slain

Chorus:
              G
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
               F
Till my trophies at last I lay down
            C                                  F
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
            G                                          F
And exchange it some day for a crown

Verse 2:
In the old rugged cross
Stained with blood, so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
On that old rugged Cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

Chorus:
              G                                    Am
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
              F                                C
Till my trophies at last I lay down
            Em                                 F
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
            G                                          F
And exchange it some day for a crown
