The Old Rugged Cross
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
C# F#maj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
G#7 C#
The emblem of suffering and shame
C# F#maj7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
G#7 C#
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
G# C#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
F# C#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
C# C#7 F# F#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
C# G# C#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 2]
C# F#maj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
G#7 C#
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
C# F#maj7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
G#7 C#
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]
G# C#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
F# C#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
C# C#7 F# F#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
C# G# C#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Verse 3]
C# F#maj7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
G#7 C#
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
C# F#maj7
'Til He calls me some day to my home far away
G#7 C#
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
G# C#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
F# C#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
C# C#7 F# F#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
C# G# C#
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Chorus]
G# C#
I will cherish the old rugged cross
F# C#
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down
C# C#7 F# F#m
I will cling to the old rugged cross
[Tag]
C# G#
And exchange it someday
(exchange it someday)
C# G#
I'll exchange it someday
(exchange it someday)
C# G# C# C#sus2 F# F#m C#
I'll exchange it someday for a crown
