The Old Rugged Cross (George Bennard)

Capo 3
     G                      C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    D         C             G
The emblem of suffering and shame
                                    C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D             D7          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
                               C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
      G              D         G
And exchange it some day for a crown.


O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wonderous attraction for me,
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary

Repeat Chorus

In the old rugged cross, stain with blood so divine,
A wondrous beatuy I see,
For 'twas on the old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus
The Old Rugged Cross (George Bennard)
Key: G
Capo 3

     G                      C

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

The emblem of suffering and shame
                                    C

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D             D7          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
                               C

I will cling to the old rugged cross,
      G              D         G

And exchange it some day for a crown.


O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wonderous attraction for me,
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary

Repeat Chorus


In the old rugged cross, stain with blood so divine,
A wondrous beatuy I see,
For 'twas on the old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

Repeat Chorus


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

Repeat Chorus
