Old Rugged Cross

D#m D C# G#7 B D 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.

D#m D C# G#7 B D 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.
