THE OLD RUGGED CROSS....CELLO SOLO

This is  one of my favorite Country Hymns...it was written by George Bennard and published in 1912...

LYRICS....

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.
Refrain:
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.

I have a piano version (here) but, wanted to play it with cello :-)...  this is my original arrangement for solo cello and I have one for cello duet, also...if you would like to hear it...please click HERE...
