On a [Bb]hill far away 
Stood an o[Eb]ld rugged cross
The [F/A]emblem of suffering and s[Eb]hame
And I l[Bb]ove that old cross 
Where the d[Eb]earest and best
For a [F/A]world of lost s[Eb]inners was s[Bb]lain

{comment: Chorus}
So Ill [F/A]cherish the old rugged c[Bb]ross
Till my tr[Eb]ophies at last I lay d[Bb]own
I will c[Bb]ling to the old rugged c[Eb]ross
And ex[Bb]change it some [F/A]day for a c[Bb]rown

{comment: Verse 2}
Oh that o[Bb]ld rugged cross
So des[Eb]pised by the world
Has a [F/A]wondrous attraction for [Bb]me
For the d[Bb]ear Lamb of God 
Left His g[Eb]lory above
To [F/A]bear it to [Eb]dark Cal[Bb]vary

{comment: Verse 3}
In that [Bb]old rugged cross
Stained with b[Eb]lood so divine
A w[F/A]ondrous beauty I [Bb]see
For twas [Bb]on that old cross 
Jesus s[Eb]uffered and died
To [F/A]pardon and s[Eb]anctify [Bb]me
