The Old Rugged Cross
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
A Dmaj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
E7 A
The emblem of suffering and shame
A Dmaj7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
E7 A
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
E A
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D A
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A A7 D Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E A
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 2]
A Dmaj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
E7 A
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
A Dmaj7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
E7 A
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]
E A
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D A
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A A7 D Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E A
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 3]
A Dmaj7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
E7 A
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
A Dmaj7
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
E7 A
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
E A
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D A
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A A7 D Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A E A
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Chorus]
E A
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D A
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A A7 D Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
[Tag]

And exchange it someday
(exchange it someday)

I'll exchange it someday
(exchange it someday)
A E A Asus2 D Dm A
I'll exchange it someday for a crown
