Song: The Old Rugged Cross

The Old Rugged Cross

Words and Music by George Bennard

Cappo 3


Verse 1:
     G        G7            C          A7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    D         D7           G
The emblem of suffring and shame;
    G               G7              C           A7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D             D7          G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.


Chorus:
             D           D7         G
     So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
             C                      G
     Till my trophies at last I lay down;
                         G7         C
     I will cling to the old rugged cross,
           G              D         G
     And exchange it some day for a crown.


Verse 2:
Oh that old rugged cross, so despised by the world.
Has a wondrous attraction for me,
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark cavalry.


Verse 3:
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see.
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.

Verse 4:
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear,
Then He'll call on some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
