Em                 COn a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
D                       Emthe emblem of suffering and shame;
Em                        C             and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
D                         Gfor a world of lost sinners was slain.


Chorus
       
         D                      GSo I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
         C                      Gtill my trophies at last I lay down;
	 G                       CI will cling to the old rugged cross,
         G            D         Emand exchange it some day for a crown.

Em                           C	then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
