[Verse 1]
F A#maj7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]

I will cherish the old rugged cross

‘Til my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it someday for a crown

F A#maj7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary.

Where His glory forever I'll share
