- Redeemed Quartet presents "The Old Rugged Cross" - one of the most loved hymns of all times - filmed in the exact spot where the song was first sung by the author!
Story Behind The Song:
George Bennard was a traveling evangelist from Iowa around the turn of the century. At a revival meeting in 1912 he was interrupted, ridiculed, harassed and heckled by young people mocking the cross.
This caused George to contemplate the meaning of the cross, and strengthen his resolve to “cherish the old rugged cross”, though “despised by the world”.
Spending many hours in study, prayer and meditation, he at last could say, “I saw the Christ of the cross as if I were seeing John 3:16 leave the printed page, take form and act out the meaning of redemption.”
The beloved hymn was born out of this experience, and in 1913 was performed for the first time in its entirety at the Pokagon Methodist Episcopal Church in Pokagon, Michigan. It was HERE in the same building, 109 years later, that we filmed our version of the treasured Gospel anthem.

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
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
Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary
In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To pardon and sanctify me
To the old rugged Cross, I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share

on January 4, 1982, at a small church in north Georgia, this song was sung during an alter call, and a 12 year old boy met Jesus and found salvation, today that boy is a 55 year old man. praise the Lord. Blessings to all.
Amen 🙏🙌🙏❤❤
Cry every time I hear this song. It was the song my daughter always asked me to sing to her when she went to bed at night. Now she's in the arms of Jesus.
she is safe
Jesus had something special for her now no more aches and pains
My daughter is also now in the safe arms of Jesus. She moved to heaven last September. We will be with Jesus and with our daughters again when it's time for us to go home.
Until then, I miss my daughter 💔every moment of everyday, until I can be there with her. What a joyous day that will be.
I am also longing for my husband and son to meet them in heaven.i know they were saved because of that rugged cross.
예수께서 재림 하실때
꼭 첫째 부활로 일어날 것입니다 .
What would we be if He didn't go on that old rugged cross. Wonder if He called the ten thousand angels. All He done it was for love. Thank you Jesus for dyin on that old rugged cross for me and you too! Love the song and y'alls singin.
We wouldn’t exist if he never went to the cross, that was the last ditch effort to save man kind 😊

I was listening to this song when I was on my knees, crying for my mom’s health. I was devastated because she has cancer and wasn’t doing well at all. God talked to me through this praise, and when I opened the Bible, it was Psalms 27. God confirmed that we should just wait on Him. We still need a miracle, but now we have faith and praise while we wait! My mom is a woman who follows our Lord’s words, and I ask you to pray for her health as well. Her name is Maria Juracy and she has a serious Lymphoma.
Prayers for you mother 🙏🥰💗💗
Hello just came across this song and red your comment and it's been 7 months since you commented. How's your mother doing? I don't know who are but just want to share this verse with you and your mother and send you all my prayers and love in Jesus mighty Name. 🙏🙏🙏❤️
1 Peter 2:24
[24]He personally carried our sins
in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.
By his wounds
you are healed.
😮Jehovah rapha.Praying
May GOD bless you in many ways❤😊
May GOD BLESS YOU.❤
My Aunt just passed. This is her favorite song. She came to Jesus not to long ago. Praise God.
I'm glad your aunt is in heaven
I am so sorry for your loss. At least you can find comfort knowing she came to God and you will see her again. My mom passed away 4 years ago and there are times I have to remind myself she is not suffering and is with the Lord. We both loved this song
The Lord gave us so much for absolutely nothing. He gave His knowledge, His love, and His life.
That church was about to fall down in the late 90's, but they restored it. My husbands grandmother on his Dad's side used to attend that same church.
Absolutely fantastic, love the harmonizing. These young men are truly blessed by God, with a great talent,
Already watched three times! Makes my soul rejoice for what HE did on the Cross. Praying for you. Keep singing for Jesus! ✝️♥️🙌🏻🙏
My Dad’s favourite hymn. He received his crown earlier this year. The family sang this song at his funeral. Miss you, Dad ❤️
Packed up the family and headed to the tiny town of Tippecanoe Indiana to hear the Redeemed Quartet. We arrived a half hour early and all the parking spots were gone. Cars started parking in the grass. We were able to get a seat, but every seat was filled in the sanctuary. Seats had to be set up out in the foyer. I feel bad for those in the foyer, because the sound was having to make it through walls and just coming out of the open doors. However, it was cool to see the place packed to its gills. Thanks Redeemed Quartet for a great night of worship and fellowship! What a blessing to be there!!!
I’m from Bremen Indiana I came across them just this morning never had heard of them I am right now in Texas but reading and finding out they were from Indiana somehow answered my prayers to where God what edge me and my kids me and my husband are going through hard time in marriage he stayed in Bremen Indiana I took my kids and moved to Texas and the past week I’ve been fasting and praying and God put in my heart that I should return to Indiana and try to save my marriage and when I came across redeemed quartet finding out they’re vídeos were made in Indiana somehow was a confirmation
@@JenneferRodriguez-wwjd07 I am one of the father's of two of the boys! I sit weeping for your family at this very second! You have heard right!! Please, if you all need help--we are available!!! Another witness for you!! One of our family is in Bremen 3 or four days a week! God is Faithful!!!
@JenneferRodriguez-wwjd07
An old, old hymn, but I never tire of singing it. These men renew my praise for what the Lord did for me. Thank you.
I will forever cherish the old rugged cross.because God welcomed me the day I gave my life to Jesus Christ .
I thought to my self that I was the worst sinner but Christ welcomed me just as I was.I promised to serve God till I will breath my last.Amen

When Jesus Christ come at first in my dreams at 6 years old.
I can't carry the Cross i was young i had to sin first in him and when he came again at the second time when i was 23 years old i have died in sin. But he pull me out and start to make me to walk on his will. Sometimes i fall in sin because little of my memory have lost after 20 years from my accident i started to get my memories back uptill now i have became well again and my memories too is all cleared. Then i came to understand now that jesus Christ who has died on the rugged Cross had really come to saved me now. Now i have to change my mind and made it good. To Stop sinning in him and start to follow his footsteps and start to learned to obeyed his commands. Amen ❤.
Song goes well and its a well done and keep it up to sing Christians song. ❤. Amen.
God's blessed and stay saved in God's protection on earth, as long as you have a life to lived on this earth. ❤. Amen.
That cross is a cross of Salvation, He bought us with His precious blood, thank you, keep singing ❤
Thank you 🙏❤️
this was my dad' s favorite hymn and when I hear it, I think how happy my dad is in his heavenly home, I still miss him
You'll be seeing him again!
my dad's favorite, too
I lost my precious Dad in 2005. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of him. Oh, how I miss him. He loved this song, but his favorite was Farther Along.✝️🛐
Love Those Boys @ their music I love To Sing A Duet With Them...I was raised on gospel music @ my dad is preacher @ so is my nephew @ brother in law...
I have listened to quartets sing Gospel music all my life. I'm no spring chicken anymore! :) I'm 84! I've heard many bass singers and many tenors that have been very good through the years. But until I heard Josh and Nate, then I found the best ones yet! Caleb and Ben fit right in there too! What a blessing you are to all of us!! I so appreciate all you do for God and your fans! There is none better and no other group has ever sent so many of God's Blessings to me as you four do!! I thank God daily for sending you for us to listen to and receive His Blessings!! Thanks guys for following Him! Praise the Lord! You keep me closer to God with all your beautiful songs.
❤
Listen to Gold City bro. I can guarantee you this joke bass is not the best out there because I'm 2 years younger sitting in a recliner belting out his verse an octave lower. He's the most overrated bass I've ever seen.
An octave lower! I’m dying 😂
You should be a comedian
@@Thehighsteppinghorsebro that's only a G or maybe an F. When you don't have to create a ton of volume that's relatively easy. There have been many bases who hit C1, so it's not remotely unprecedented
The quartet is a real blessing! I listen every day, will continue to be inspired by those Godly men!!
I had a Lady sing this at my Mother Funeral. One of her favorites.
I miss these gospels they mean so much to me.
Nothing like real gospel music. Redeemed Quartet are the best I've heard in years. As good as the Oakridge Boys. If not better. A real group that sings as one. Love them.
God guided me to find you and remember my moments of joy and meet God our Lord. Blessings to you all .
Nothing like a deep sounding bass and high tenor and harmonious lead and baritone. Awesome job guys!
really ? You mean that software changing and editing voices ??
@@adoado7355 They sing at the Second largest County Fair in the USA this weekend! Why don't you come hear them so you can quit being so jealous? Please!!! I am sure they would let you sit on the front row and even autograph you one of their Cd's. I bet they would not even charge you!! 😊 😊 😊
Quit being so jealous this group does not use any voice enhancing audio changing or computer software their voices are a pure god-given talent from the Lord himself give it a rest 🎶🎶

@@adoado7355 Be careful what you say. These young men are anointed and appointed by The Most High, Righteous and Almighty God. Their voices are true and are God's gift to them for others. They're fulfilling His mandate. What about you? And I say this in love. "You might or [will get] trapped by what you say; you might or [will be] caught by your own words [or what you say]." Proverbs 6:2 (EXB).

Beautiful. This was written in 1912 and song a in church for the first time. This take me back to the Baptist church I grew up in.
I cannot emagine when this group reach heaven with thesevoice thank you❤❤❤❤

Good to see young men who are still looking at the cross.!Hope that they find the “CHRIST”that makes our lives significant by the cross❤️❤️!
It's hard for them to find something they already have all 4 of these men have had Christ living in their hearts since and from a very young young age
May we all be found looking to Jesus DAILY and finding the Grace available to us in every situation! We need him more each day!
@@RedeemedQuartetMusic Amen !!!
@@RedeemedQuartetMusic in His Name, Amen
@@RedeemedQuartetMusic So very well said!! Amen!
My Grandfather Dewey was a golden hearted old country boy from Nelson County, Virginia. He had a beautiful grape Arbor in his yard and would daily sit in an old wooden rocking chair with a big old plug of chewing tobacco that he grew himself. As he would rock gently and chew he would hum "the Old Rugged Cross". He left and went to his Heavenly home a long time ago. I miss that gentle giant so much !!!
My daughter inlaws brother and his wife lives right there next to the Old Rugged Cross Church. That is a beautiful property.
Amen.....R.Q's ministry in song sang so good......where would we be without Calvary ....The Lords Blessings to you all...

Reed City, Michigan claims this song as their own. Reed City was my Mom's hometown. Reed City was & still is a very small, rural farm community.
Do “ I need thee every hour”….. love your music!
I love u guys and your music sooo much.....
And this is eternal life: that they may know the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3 So those who gladly received his word were baptized; and on that day nearly three thousand souls were added. Acts 2:41
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, this song touched the soul, very beautiful. God bless you guys, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
On a 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 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 some day for a crown
To the 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
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
My grandmother sang this to me 90 years ago
Awesome. We need you to sing some more hymns. Please.
A beautiful bass voice. A beautiful song. Waiting on that day to go home.
My grandpa Tanners favorite song I played piano for the church l really miss him❤️
Chills! Thank you, Lord, that You shed Your blood and sacrificed Your life, that I might have life eternal. Hallelujah!
Thank You, Lord, that You continue to raise up those who proclaim Your Name that whosoever will may call upon Your Name and be saved.
