On a Hill Far Away (The Old Rugged Cross) (Tune: Rugged Cross, 4vv) [with lyrics for congregations]

"On a Hill Far Away (The Old Rugged Cross)" was written by American Methodist minister George Bennard in 1913. He wrote the first verse in Albion, Michigan, in the autumn of 1912 as a response to ridicule that he had received at a revival meeting.

It is performed here by the London Fox Choir.
