Misc Praise Songs - The old rugged cross

On a ^Ahill far away stood an ^Dold rugged cross, The emb^E7lem of suffering and ^Ashame; And I love that old cross, where the ^Ddearest and best For a ^E7world of lost sinners was ^Aslain.

So I’ll c^Eherish the ^E7old rugged ^Across Till my ^Dtrophies at last I lay ^Adown I will cling to the old rugged ^Dcross And ex^Achange it some ^E7day for a ^Acrown.

^AOh, that old rugged cross, so Des^Dpised by the world, has a W^E7ondrous attraction for ^Ame;

^DGlory above to ^E7bear it to dark Calva^Ary.

^AIn that old rugged cross, stained with ^DBlood so divine, a won^E7drous beauty I ^Asee, For ‘twas on that old cross, Jesus ^Dsuffered And died, to ^E7pardon and sanctify ^Ame.

^ATo that old rugged cross, I will ^Dever be true; Its sha^E7me and reproach gladly ^Abear; Then He’ll call me some day to my ^Dhome far away Where his ^E7glory forever I’ll ^Ashare.
