The Old Rugged Cross (Part II version)
This is the version of the song on his album, Part II.
*CAPO TWO*
G C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
D7 G
The emblem of suffering and shame
C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
D7 G
For a world of lost sinners was slain
D D7 G
And I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
C G
Until my trophies at last I lay down
C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
G D7 G
And exchange it someday for a crown
G C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
D7 G
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
C
And they'll call me someday to my home far away
D7 G
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
repeat full chorus once
C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
G D7 G
And exchange it someday for a crown.
