Bb

spanishOriginal Key: Bbworship

Intro

I will cling to the old rug - ged cross

And ex - change it some day for a crown /

#Verse 1

On a hill far a - way stood an old rugged cross

The emblem of suff'ring and shame /

And I love that old cross where the dear - est and best

For a world of lost sin - ners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross /

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rug - ged cross

And ex - change it some day for a crown /

#Verse 2

#O the old rugged cross so de - spised by the world

#Has a wondrous at - traction for me /

#For the dear Lamb of God left His glo - ry a - bove

#To bear it to dark Cal - va - ry

#

{soc}

# So I'll cherish the old rugged cross /

# Till my trophies at last I lay down

# I will cling to the old rug - ged cross

# And ex - change it some day for a crown /

{eoc}

#

#Verse 3

# In the old rugged cross stained with blood so di - vine

# A won - drous beauty I see /

# For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suf - fered and died

# To par - don and sanc - ti - fy me

#

{soc}

# So I'll cherish the old rugged cross /

# Till my trophies at last I lay down

# I will cling to the old rug - ged cross

# And ex - change it some day for a crown /

{eoc}

#Verse 4

To the old rugged cross I will ev - er be true

It's shame and re - proach gladly bear /

Then He'll call me some day to my home far a - way

Where His glo - ry for - ev - er I'll share

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross /

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rug - ged cross

And ex - change it some day for a crown /

Ending

And ex - change it some day for a crown /
