On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff’ring and shame, And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best For a world of lost sinners was slain.
GOn
a hill far away stood an
C
old
rugged cross,
The
D
emblem
of
D7
suff'ring
and
G-D7
shame,
And I
G
love
that old cross where the
C
Dearest
and Best
For a
D
world
of lost
D7
sinners
was
G
slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.
GSo
I'll
D
cherish
the old rugged
G
cross,
Till my
C
trophies
at last I lay
G
down;
I will cling to the old rugged
C
cross,
And
ex
G
change
it some
D7
day
for a
G
crown.

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 Calvary.
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 Calvary.
GOh,
that old rugged cross, so

by the world,
Has
D
a
wondrous

attraction
G-D7
for
me;
For the

dear
Lamb of God left His
C
glory
above,
To bear
D
it
to dark
D7
Calvary.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.
GSo
I'll
D
cherish
the old rugged

Till my

trophies
at last I lay
G

I will cling to the old rugged

cross,
And
ex
G
change
it some
D7
day
for a
G
crown.

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.
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.
GIn
the old rugged cross, stained with
C
blood
so divine,
A
D
wondrous
D7
beauty
I see;
For 'twas
G
on
that old cross Jesus
C
suffered
and died,
To
D
pardon
and
D7
sanctify
me.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.
I remember singing this when I was younger and now I realised that Jesus was watching over me and was with me the entire time. This song puts a smile on my face every time I here it.
May we know more of the Dearest and Best, this Dear Lamb of God who came to dark Calvary to die for our sins. May Your Cross Lord hold a wondrous attraction for us once again. Please draw back the veil Lord so that we can really see Calvary once more and may we see the wondrous beauty in it that the hymn writer once saw. All Heaven is taken up in worshiping the Lamb of God - may I too be taken up in worshiping Calvary’s Lamb.
