The Old Rugged Cross
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
G Cmaj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
D7 G
The emblem of suffering and shame
G Cmaj7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
D7 G
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
D G
I will cherish the old rugged cross
C G
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
G G7 C Cm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
G D G
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 2]
G Cmaj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
D7 G
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
G Cmaj7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
D7 G
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]

I will cherish the old rugged cross

‘Til my trophies at last I lay down

And exchange it someday for a crown

G Cmaj7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
D7 G
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
G Cmaj7
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
D7 G
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
D G
I will cherish the old rugged cross

‘Til my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross
G D G
And exchange it someday for a crown

‘Til my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross
