The Old Rugged Cross - Gospel Guitar Tabs

G C D G

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame.

C D G

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain.

D G C G

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down.

C G D G

I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.

G C D G

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me.

C D G

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above to bear it to dark Calvary.

G C D G

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, a wondrous beauty I see.

C D G

For t'was on that old cross Jesus suffered and died to pardon and sanctify me.

G C D G

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, its shame and reproach gladly bear.

C D G

Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, where His glory forever I'll share.
