This Hymn is my wife's favorite one. I learnt it & others by heart in 1965 in Chávez, Coahuila, Mexico. An American II WW military missionery & his wife(Marine Subltt) taught these Hymns & patriot American Songs too. George B. Shea, Ernie T. Ford, Bill Gather, etc. and others Singers are frequently listened by my family. Thanks for sharing this Redemption Hymn. I'll share it with many others who studied between 1965-1980 in that Carl & Mary Tornbom's Missionery Home. Million of Blessings from North of México 🙏
The Old rugged Cross 1, On 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 Sinner's was slain 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, Oh that old rugged Cross, So despised by the world, Has a wondrous Attraction for me for the Lamb of God left his Glory above To bear it to Dark Calvary 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 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 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 4 , To that 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 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

Has there ever been a more beautiful hymn written than this?
Great question, Bob. We're sure there would be lots of answers but this one must surely be up there. 😊
I know, this one is truly a gem. However, another really great, beautiful one is "Be Still, My Soul".
I love this🎉
The Old rugged Cross
1,
On 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
Sinner's was slain
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,
Oh that old rugged Cross,
So despised by the world,
Has a wondrous Attraction
for me for the Lamb of God
left his Glory above
To bear it to Dark Calvary
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
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
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
4 ,
To that 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
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
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen, Peter. 🙏
