E30. Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone

1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for ev'ry one,
And there's a cross for me,
And there's a cross for me.

2 How happy are the saints above,
Who once were sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear,
And joy without a tear.

3 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,
For there's a crown for me.
