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
