 5    -5   6   -5    -6  6
On a  hill  far   a- way, 
6     6  -6   -7   -7      -6
stood an old rug-ged cross
  -6    -7    -6    6    -5      6    -5       5
The emb-lem  of  suffer-ing and shame
  5    -5   6       -5  -6    6
And  I  love  that old cross,    . 
    6       6    -6    -6     -7   -6
where the dear-est  and best 
.-6  -6    -7    -6    6   -9    8     -8      7
for  a  world of  lost sin-ners was slain.  
 
chorus
-7    7     -8     -8     -8    -8    7    -7      7
So  I'll   cher-ish  the  old rug-ged cross, 
 7     -7     -6     -6     -6     7   -7  -6    6
Till  my  troph-ies   at  last  I   lay down. 
6  7       8    8   8     8    -9    8      -6
I will cling to the old rug-ged cross 
  -9     -9       8     -8      7       6    -7   -8     7
And  ex-change it   some day  for   a  crown.
 
verse 2
5   -5    6   -5    -6     6
O that old rug-ged cross,
6    6     -6     -6   -7   -6
so de-spised by the world.
-6    -7   -6     6      -5   -5  6   -5   5
Has a  wondrous attract-ion for me;
  5   -5     6      -5    -6    6
For the dear Lamb of God
   6    6      -6   -6   -7    -6
Left  His   glo  ry    a - bove
-6    -6   -7 -6      6    -9  8-8   7
To bear  it  to  dark Cal  va   ry.
 
verse 3
5   -5   6   -5     -6    6
In the old rug-ged cross,
    6         6     -6     -6   - 7 -6
stained with blood so div- ine,
-6  -7      -6      6     -5  -5  5
A  won-drous beau-ty  I  see;
  5       -5  6    -5   -6     6
For 'twas on that old cross
  6    6    -6   -6   -7    -6
Jesus suf-fered and died,
-6    -6     -7   -6    6   -9   8   7
To  par- don and sanc-ti-fy  me.
 
verse 4
 5   -5   6    -5   -6      6
To  the old rug-ged cross
6  6   -6 -6   - 7  -6
I will ev-er   be true,
-6      -7     -6    6    -5         6   -5    5
Its shame and re-proach glad-ly bear;
    5     -5    6    -5    -6      6
Then He'll call me some day
6     6     -6    -7   -7 -6
To my home far  a- way,
   -6       -6   -7 -6   6   -9   8    -8     7
Where His glo-ry  for- ev-er   I'll  share.
 

To God be the glory
