Вступление
[Intro]
D#mDC#G#7BD
[Verse]
F#B
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
C#F#
The emblem of suff’ring and shame
F#B
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
C#F#
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
[Chorus]
C#F#
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
BF#
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
F#B
I will cling to the old rugged cross
F#C#D#mDC#G#7BD
And exchange it some day for a crown.
[Verse]
F#B
Oh that old rugged cross so despised by the world
C#F#
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
F#B
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
C#F#
To bear it to dark Calvary.
[Chorus]
C#F#
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
BF#
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
F#B
I will cling to the old rugged cross
F#C#D#mDC#G#7BD
And exchange it some day for a crown.
[Instrumental]
D#mDC#G#7BD
[Verse]
F#B
In the old rugged cross stained with blood so divine
C#F#
A wondrous beauty I see;
F#B
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
C#F#
To pardon and sanctify me.
[Chorus]
C#F#
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
BF#
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
F#B
I will cling to the old rugged cross
C#F#
And exchange it some day for a crown.
