Song: The Old Rugged Cross
The Old Rugged Cross
Words and Music by George Bennard
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
G Gdim G C D#7 D
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
A D7 D7 G
The emblem of suffring and shame;
G Gdim G C D#7 D
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
A D7 D/G D7 G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
[Chorus]
D D7 G Gdim C/G G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
C D 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]
G Gdim G C D#7 D
Oh that old rugged cross, so despised by the world.
A D7 D7 G
Has a wondrous attraction for me,
G Gdim G C D#7 D
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
A D7 D7 D/G D7 G
To bear it to dark cavalry.
[Chorus]
D D7 G Gdim C/G G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
C D 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 3]
G Gdim G C D#7 D
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A D7 D7 G
A wondrous beauty I see.
G Gdim G C D#7 D
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
A D7 D/G D7 G
To pardon and sanctify me.
[Chorus]
D D7 G Gdim C/G G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
C D 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 4]
G Gdim G C D#7 D
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true,
A D7 D7 G
Its shame and reproach gladly bear,
G Gdim G C D#7 D
Then He'll call on some day to my home far away,
A D7 D/G D7 G
Where His glory forever I'll share.
