Words and Music by George Bennard 

Cappo 3 


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