I hope you enjoy this instrumental version of this song. *George Bennard (February 4, 1873 – October 10, 1958) was an American hymn composer and preacher. He is best known for composing the famous hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross". Bennard was born in the coal-mining and iron-production town of Youngstown, Ohio. When he was still a child, his parents relocated the family to Albia, Iowa. Some time later, they moved again to Lucas, Iowa.[1] Although the young Bennard aspired to become a Christian evangelist, he was compelled to support his mother and sisters when his father died suddenly.[1] After marrying, Bennard became active in the Salvation Army and preached throughout the United States and Canada.[1] He was ordained as a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church.[1] He spent much of his life in Michigan and Wisconsin. As a well-regarded author of Christian hymns, his most famous work is "The Old Rugged Cross". Bennard retired to Reed City, Michigan, and the town maintains a museum dedicated to his life and ministry.[2] He died in Reed City, Michigan, where the local Chamber of Commerce erected a cross near his home.[1] Bennard is buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California.[1] *Wikipedia #OldRuggedCross #GeorgeBennard #PianoCoverSongs
