The Old Rugged Cross
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
F# Bmaj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
C#7 F#
The emblem of suffering and shame
F# Bmaj7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
C#7 F#
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
C# F#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
B F#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
F# F#7 B Bm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
F# C# F#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 2]
F# Bmaj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
C#7 F#
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
F# Bmaj7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
C#7 F#
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]
C# F#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
B F#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
F# F#7 B Bm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
F# C# F#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 3]
F# Bmaj7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
C#7 F#
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
F# Bmaj7
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
C#7 F#
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
C# F#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
B F#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
F# F#7 B Bm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
F# C# F#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Chorus]
C# F#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
B F#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
F# F#7 B Bm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
