Words & George Bennard, 1913 (MIDI, score).

The Old Rugged Cross was written in Albion, Michigan. Or Pokagon, Michigan. Or Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. All three towns claim to be the of this hymn.

On a hill far away an old rugged cross,
The of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the and best
For a world of lost was slain.

So I'll the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at I lay down;
I will cling to the old cross,
And it some day for a crown.

O old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous for me;
For the dear Lamb of God His glory above
To it to dark Calvary.

In that old cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous I see,
For on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To and sanctify me.

To the old rugged cross I will be true;
Its shame and reproach bear;
He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory I'll share.
