"The cross of our Lord Christ." Galatians 6:14

of Old Rugged Cross Historical Museum
Words & Music: George Bennard, (MIDI, score).

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

On a far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and
And I love that old cross where the dearest and
For a world of lost was slain.

So cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at I lay down;
I cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it day for a crown.

O that old cross, so despised by the world,
Has a attraction for me;
For the Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to Calvary.

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

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