37. The cross

1 Shall Simon bear his cross alone,
And all the rest go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.
Yes, there's a cross on Calvary,
Through which by faith the crown I see,
To me 'tis pardon bringing:
O that's the cross for me,
O that's the cross for me,
O that's the cross for me.

2 How faithful does the Saviour prove
To those who serve him here,
They now may taste his precious love,
And joy to hail him near.
Yes, Jesus's love will dry the tear,
And cast out all tormenting fear
Which round my heart is clinging:
O that's the love for me,
O that's the love for me,
O that's the love for me.

3 We'll bear the consecrated cross,
Till from the cross set free,
And then go home to wear the crown:
O there's a crown for me.
Yes, there's a crown in heaven above,
The purchase of a Saviour's love,
For me at his appearing:
O there's a crown for me,
O there's a crown for me,
O there's a crown for me.
