Old Rugged Cross, The (George Bernard (1873-1958))

G                      C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    D                       G
The emblem of suffering and shame;
                                    C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D                         G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.


Chorus:

   D                D7         G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
        C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
                               C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
     G              D7        G
And exchange it someday for a crown.


O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it on dark Calvary.


In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For ëtwas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.


To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me someday to His home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    D                       G

The emblem of suffering and shame;

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

   D                D7         G

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

                               C

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it someday for a crown.


O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it on dark Calvary.


In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For Ã«twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me someday to His home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
