Lyrics
On a (C)hill far (Cdim)(C)away stood an (F)old (Fdim)rugged (F)cross,
(D)the (G)emblem of (G7)suff'ring and (C)shame;
(G7)and I (C)love that (Cdim)old (C)cross,
where the (F)darkest (Fdim)and (F)best (D)for a (G)world of lost (G7)sinners was (C)slain.
So I'll (G7)cherish the old rugged (C)cross till my (F)trophies at last I lay (C)down.
I will cling to the old rugged (F)cross and (C)exchange it some (G7)day for a (C)crown.
(G7)To the (C)old (Cdim)rugged (C)cross I will (F)ever (Fdim)be (F)true,
(D)its (G)shame and (G7)reproach gladly (C)bear;
(G7)then He'll (C)call me (Cdim)some (C)day to my (F)home far (Fdim)(F)away,
(D)where His (G)glory (G7)forever I'll (C)share.
So I'll (G7)cherish the old rugged (C)cross till my (F)trophies at last I lay (C)down.
I will cling to the old rugged (F)cross and (C)exchange it some (G7)day for a (C)crown.
(G7)To the (C)crown.
