The Old Rugged Cross chords

[VERSE 1]
On a [G]hill far [G7]away stood an [C]old rugged [A7]cross,
The [D]emblem of [D7]suffring and [G]shame;
And [G]I love that old [G7]cross where the [C]dearest and [A7]best
For a [D]world of lost [D7]sinners was [G]slain.

[CHORUS]
So I'll [D]cherish the [D7]old rugged [G]cross.
Till my [C]trophies at last I lay [G]down;
I will cling to the [G7]old rugged [C]cross,
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a [G]crown.

[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.
