The Old Rugged Cross
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
B Emaj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
F#7 B
The emblem of suffering and shame
B Emaj7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
F#7 B
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
F# B
I will cherish the old rugged cross
E B
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
B B7 E Em
I will cling to the old rugged cross
B F# B
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 2]
B Emaj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
F#7 B
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
B Emaj7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
F#7 B
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]
F# B
I will cherish the old rugged cross
E B
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
B B7 E Em
I will cling to the old rugged cross
B F# B
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 3]
B Emaj7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
F#7 B
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
B Emaj7
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
F#7 B
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
F# B
I will cherish the old rugged cross
E B
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
B B7 E Em
I will cling to the old rugged cross
B F# B
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Chorus]
F# B
I will cherish the old rugged cross
E B
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
B B7 E Em
I will cling to the old rugged cross
