The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics & Chords

Written by George Bernard

(G)On a hill far away stood an (C)old rugged cross
The (D)emblem of suffering and (G)shame
And I love that old cross where the (C)dearest and best
For a (D)world of lost sinners was (G)slain
Chorus
(G)So I’ll (D)cherish the old rugged (G)cross
Till my (C)trophies at last I lay (G)down
I will cling to the old rugged (C)cross
And ex(G)change it (D)someday for a (G)crown
(G)O that old rugged cross so (C)despised by the world
Has a (D)wondrous attraction for (G)me
For the dear lamb of God left His (C)glory above
To (D)bear it on dark (G)Calvary
