Verse 2 2m 5 1 1 "Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; 2m 5 1 Are they not enough for Thee?" 1 2m 5 1 But the Shepherd made answer: "'Tis of Mine 1 2m Has wandered away from Me. 5 1 1 2m And although the road be rough and steep, 5 1 1 2m I go to the desert to find My sheep." Verse 3 5 1 1 But none of the ransomed ever knew 2m 5 1 How deep were the waters crossed, 1 2m 5 1 Nor how dark was the night the Lord passed 1 2m 5 1 Ere He found His sheep that was lost. 1 2m 5 1 Out in the desert He heard its cry — 1 2m 5 Sick and helpless and ready to die. Verse 4 1 1 2m 5 "Lord, what are these blood-drops all the way 1 1 2m That mark out the mountain's track?" 5 1 1 2m 5 "They were shed for the one who had gone astray 1 1 2m Ere the Shepherd could bring him back." 5 1 1 2m "Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?" 5 1 1 2m "They are pierced tonight by many a thorn." Verse 5 5 1 1 And all through the mountains, thunder-riv'n, 2m 5 1 And up from the rocky steep, 1 2m 5 1 There arose a cry to the gate of heav'n, 1 2m 5 "Rejoice! I have found My sheep!" 1 1 2m And the angels echoed around the throne, 5 1 1 2m "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!"

Refrain 6m 4 5 So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, 1 6m 4 5 Till my trophies at last I lay down; 1 6m 4 5 I will cling to the old rugged cross, 1 6m 4 5 And exchange it some day for a crown. Verse 2 1 6m 4 5 1 Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, 6m 4 5 Has a wondrous attraction for me; 1 6m 4 5 1 For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above 6m 4 5 To bear it to dark Calvary. Verse 3 1 6m 4 5 1 In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, 6m 4 A wondrous beauty I see, 5 1 6m 4 5 For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, 1 6m To pardon and sanctify me. Verse 4 4 5 1 6m 4 To that old rugged cross I will ever be true, 5 1 6m Its shame and reproach gladly bear; 4 5 1 6m 4 Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, 5 1 6m Where His glory forever I'll share.

Verse 4 4 1 5 When He shall come with trumpet sound, 1 4 1 5 O may I then in Him be found: 1 4 Dressed in His righteousness alone, 1 5 1 Faultless to stand before the throne.

Refrain 4 1 5 The way of the cross leads home, 1 4 1 The way of the cross leads home; 5 1 4 1 It is sweet to know, as I onward go, 5 1 4 The way of the cross leads home. Verse 2 1 5 1 4 I must needs go on in the blood-sprinkled way, 1 5 1 The path that the Savior trod, 4 1 5 1 If I ever climb to the heights sublime, 4 1 5 1 Where the soul is at home with God. Verse 3 4 1 5 1 4 Then I bid farewell to the way of the world, 1 5 To walk in it nevermore; 1 4 1 5 1 For my Lord says, "Come," and I seek my home 4 1 5 Where He waits at the open door.

Verse 5 1 5 1 O dearly, dearly has He loved, 4 1 5 And we must love Him too, 1 4 1 And trust in His redeeming blood, 5 1 4 And try His works to do.

Tune: Isaac Watts, 1707 Chart: Algorithmic (verify before use) Verse 1 1 6m 4 There is a land of pure delight, 5 1 Where saints immortal reign; 6m 4 Infinite day excludes the night, 5 1 And pleasures banish pain. Verse 2 6m 4 There everlasting spring abides, 5 And never-withering flowers; 1 6m 4 Death, like a narrow sea, divides 5 1 This heavenly land from ours. Verse 3 6m 4 5 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood 1 6m Stand dressed in living green; 4 5 1 So to the Jews old Canaan stood, 6m 4 While Jordan rolled between. Verse 4 5 1 6m But timorous mortals start and shrink 4 5 To cross this narrow sea, 1 6m 4 And linger, shivering on the brink, 5 1 And fear to launch away. Verse 5 6m 4 5 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, 1 6m Those gloomy doubts that rise, 4 5 1 And see the Canaan that we love 6m With unbeclouded eyes; Verse 6 4 5 1 Could we but climb where Moses stood, 6m 4 And view the landscape o'er, 5 1 6m Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, 4 5 1 Should fright us from the shore.
