Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
It is the one cross that towers over all other crosses. Other famous crosses are more elaborate and ornate, some made of stone and marble, but the old rugged cross of Calvary is the most famous and endeared cross of all.
