The Old Rugged Cross
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
A# D#maj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
F7 A#
The emblem of suffering and shame
A# D#maj7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
F7 A#
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
F A#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D# A#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A# A#7 D# D#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A# F A#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 2]
A# D#maj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
F7 A#
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
A# D#maj7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
F7 A#
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]
F A#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D# A#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A# A#7 D# D#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A# F A#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 3]
A# D#maj7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
F7 A#
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
A# D#maj7
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
F7 A#
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
F A#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D# A#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A# A#7 D# D#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A# F A#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Chorus]
F A#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
D# A#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
A# A#7 D# D#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
