[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.
