On a hill far away lyrics with chords

On a hill far away

Scale: G

         G            G7         

On a hill far away

                  C

Stood an old rugged cross

          D                      D7                G      D7

The emblem of suff'ring and shame

           G                     G7

And I love that old cross

                           C             A7

Where the dearest and best

             D                        D7               G

For a world of lost sinners was slain

(Chorus) 

                D             D7               G  G7

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross

                    C                              G  D7

Till my trophies at last I lay down

          G                 G7                  C

I will cling to the old rugged cross

                G                        D               G   D7

And exchange it someday for a crown

2.

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

3.

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

4.

To the old rugged cross

I will ever be true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He'll call me someday

To my home far away

Where His glory forever I'll share
