"Old Rugged Cross" Mrs. William Asher & Homer Rodeheaver Victor 18706 1920 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I'll cherish the old rugged cross (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 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true It's shame and reproach gladly bear Then he'll call me some day to my home far away Where his glory forever I'll share And I'll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross) Till my trophies at last I lay down And I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown “The Old Rugged Cross" is a famous gospel song by evangelist George Bennard (1873–1958). In the year 1913, Rev. George Bennard was living in Albion, Michigan. He wrote the song at that time. The first public rendition of this song was at Chicago, Illinois. Bennard’s residence at Albion and his conception of the hymn there are commemorated by a historical sign posted at the intersection of E. Michigan Ave. and College Ct. Here is what the sign says: “The Old Rugged Cross,” one of the world’s best-loved hymns, was composed here in 1912 by the Rev. George Bennard (1873–1958). The son of an Ohio coal miner, Bennard was a lifelong servant of God, chiefly in the Methodist ministry. He wrote the words and music of over 300 other hymns. None achieved the fame of “The Old Rugged Cross,” the moving summation of his faith. Homer Alvan Rodeheaver, who was a familiar figure on Billy Sunday’s evangelistic team, directed choirs, performed gospel songs, and served as master of ceremonies at Sunday’s evangelistic meetings for more than twenty years, starting in 1909. His wife was Helen Rodeheaver. But he recorded with Mrs. William Asher, whose first name was Virginia. But the name "Virginia Asher" was not used since it was considered more proper to use the name Mrs. William Asher.
