Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone,
And All The World Go Free?
No, There’s A Cross For Everyone,
And There’s A Cross For Me.

How Happy Are The Saints Above,
Who Once Went Sorrowing Here!
But Now They Taste Unmingled Love,
And Joy Without A Tear.

The Consecrated Cross I’ll Bear
Till Death Shall Set Me Free;
And Then Go Home My Crown To Wear,
For There’s A Crown For Me.

Upon The Crystal Pavement Down
At Jesus’ Pierced Feet,
Joyful I’ll Cast My Golden Crown
And His Dear Name Repeat.

O Precious Cross! O Glorious Crown!
O Resurrection Day!
When Christ The Lord From Heaven Comes Down
And Bears My Soul Away
