[Intro]
| A7  •  D  • |

[Verse]
A         B    A
On a hill far away
D
stood a old rugged cross
E7                      A
The emblem of suffering and shame
C     A
And I love that old cross
D
where the dearest and best
E
For a world of lost
A
sinners was slain

[Chorus]
E                   A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
D                  A   E
Till my trophies at last I lay down
A            A7         D
I will cling to the old rugged cross
A              E         A
And exchange it some day for a crown

[Verse  (Indonesia)]
A    B     A            D     A
Atas bukit jauh. nampak salib kayu
E                   A
Lambang siksa, sengsara, nista
D
Yesus t'lah dipaku pada salib itu
E                A
Mati ganti insan berdosa

[Chorus  (Indonesia)]
E                   A
'Kan kukasihi t'rus salibNya
D                   A
Sampai kutinggalkan yang fana
A7         D
Akan kupegang t'rus salibNya
A  E             A
Sampai ku-tukarkan mahkota

[Ending]
A7         D
Akan kupegang t'rus salibNya
A  E             A
Sampai ku-tukarkan mahkota
