The Old Rugged Cross

(Marie Barlow Martin)
George Bennard, 1913
"On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross - the emblem of suff'ring 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 till my trophies at last I lay down. I will cling to The Old Rugged Cross and exchange it someday for a crown.

To The Old Rugged Cross I will ever be true. It's shame and reproach I gladly bear. Then He'll call me someday 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 someday for a crown!"
