C F
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
G C
the emblem of suffering and shame;
C F
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
G C
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
[Chorus]
G/B Am G C
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
F C
Till my trophies at last I lay down
F
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
C G C
And exchange it someday for a crown.
[Break]
C C G C
[Verse 2]
C
To the old rugged cross
F
I will ever be true
G C
It shame and reproach, gladly bare
C
Then he'll call me someday
F
To my home far away
G C
Where his glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
G/B Am G C
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
F C
Till my trophies at last I lay down
F
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
C G Am
And exchange it someday for a crown.

G/B C F Em
[Outro]
Dm C G F C Dm C
And exchange it someday for a crown.
