[Verse 1]
     G                       C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

    D                       G
The emblem of suffering and shame

      G                              C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

      D                          G
For a 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

         G           D         G
And exchange it some day for a crown
[Verse 2]
       G                       C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true

     D                         G
It's 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
[Chorus]
         D                      G
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down

           G                       C
And I will cling to the old rugged cross

        G            D         G
And exchange it some day for a crown
[Outro]
       G                       C
I will cling to the old rugged cross

         G           D         G
And exchange it some day for a crown
