The Old Rugged Cross
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
D Gmaj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
A7 D
The emblem of suffering and shame
D Gmaj7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
A7 D
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
A D
I will cherish the old rugged cross
G D
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
D D7 G Gm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
D A D
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 2]
D Gmaj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
A7 D
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
D Gmaj7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
A7 D
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]
A D
I will cherish the old rugged cross
G D
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
D D7 G Gm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
D A D
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 3]
D Gmaj7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
A7 D
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
D Gmaj7
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
A7 D
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
A D
I will cherish the old rugged cross
G D
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
D D7 G Gm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
D A D
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Chorus]
A D
I will cherish the old rugged cross
G D
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
D D7 G Gm
I will cling to the old rugged cross
