The Old Rugged Cross | Streams of Song

The Old Rugged Cross ✝️ The Story Behind the Song: This hymn was written in 1913 by American evangelist George Bennard. While struggling through a difficult season in ministry, he spent months reflecting on the suffering of Christ to understand the true weight of the cross. He composed the melody in Albion, Michigan, creating an anthem that reminds us the cross is the very heart of the Gospel. I hope this music strengthens your spirit today. "I will cling to the old rugged cross." 🏔️ 🔔 Subscribe for more ⚠️ This arrangement and recording are original to Streams of Song and created for worship.

Chorus: So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown. 2 O 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 that 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 that old rugged cross I will ever be true, its shame and reproach gladly bear; then he'll call me some day to my home far away, where his glory forever I'll share. #TheOldRuggedCross #ChristianMusic #Hymns #Worship #StreamsOfSong #FaithHistory #GeorgeBennard #OrchestralWorship #ClassicHymns #GospelMusic #JesusChrist #CrossOfChrist #SacredMusic #EpicChristianMusic #HymnHistory
