Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D][G]
On a hill far away
Stood an [C]old rugged cross
[A]The [D]emblem of suffering and [G]shame
And I love that old cross,
where the [C]dearest and best
[A]For a [D]world of lost sinner[G]s w[D]as s[G]lain
So I'll [D]cherish the old rugged [G]cross
[C]Till [G]my tro[C]phies at last I lay dow[G]n
I will cling to the old [C]rugged [G]cro[C]ss
and ex[G]change [D]it [G]someday [D]for a [G]crown.
Oh, that old [Gdim]rugged [G]cross,
so des[C]pised by the world,
[A]has a [D]won[Em]drous [G]attrac[D]tion for [G]me.
For the dear [Gdim]Lamb of God[G]
left His [C]glory above
[A]To [D]bear it to dark [G]Cal[D]vary.
[G]So I'll che[D]rish thee,
O rugged [G]cross,[Gdim][C][G]
Till my [C]trophies at last [D]I l[C]ay d[G]own.
I will cling to thee, O [C]Lad[G]der [C]-Cross,
And ex[G]change [D]it [G]someday [D]for a [G]crown.
