The Old Rugged Cross
Words and Music by George Bennard
Cappo 3
Verse 1:
On a Ghill far G7away stood an Cold rugged A7cross,
The Demblem of D7suffring and Gshame;
And GI love that old G7cross where the Cdearest and A7best
For a Dworld of lost D7sinners was Gslain.
Chorus:
So I'll Dcherish the D7old rugged Gcross.
Till my Ctrophies at last I lay Gdown;
I will cling to the G7old rugged Ccross,
And exGchange it some Dday for a Gcrown.
Verse 2:
Oh that old rugged cross, so despised by the world.
Has a wondrous attraction for me,
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark cavalry.
Verse 3:
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see.
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.
Verse 4:
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear,
Then He'll call on some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
