The Old Rugged Cross
No Capo
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
D G C
The emblem of suffering and shame.
G C
And I love that old rugged cross where the dearest and best,
D G
For the world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
D G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
C G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
G C
I will cling to the old rugged cross, and
D G
Exchange it some day for a crown.
[Verse 2]
G C
To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
D G
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
G C
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
D G
Where his glory forever I'll share.
