The Old Rugged Cross
Recorded by Ann Murray
Written by George Bernard
[3/4 time]
 
G                           C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
    D7                      G
The emblem of suffering and shame
                                    C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D7                        G
For a world of lost sinners was slain
 
   D7                          G
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
        C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down
                               C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
     G              D7        G
And exchange it someday for a crown
 
                           C
O that old rugged cross so despised by the world
      D7                      G
Has a wondrous attraction for me
                              C
For the dear lamb of God left His glory above
   G          D7   G
To bear it on dark Calvary
 
repeat #2
