THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

Words and music: George Bennard

Verse 1
On a (G)hill (Gdim)far a(G)way stood that (C)old (Cdim)rugged (C)cross,
(A)The (D7)emblem of suffering and (G)shame.
And I love (Gdim)that old (G)cross, where the (C)dear(Cdim)est and (C)best
(A)For a (D7)world of lost sinners was (G)slain.

Chorus
Oh, I'll (D7)cherish this old rugged (G)cross,
'Til my (C)burdens at last I lay (G)down.
I will cling to this old rugged (C)cross,
And ex(G)change it some (D)day for a (G)crown.
