No Cross to Carry Over There

Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Worship and Service #104 (1916) First Line: What tho' our backs are bending at times beneath the load Refrain First Line: There'll be no cross to carry over there Lyrics: 1 What tho' our backs are bending at times beneath the load, When oft the cross is heavy that we bear, This thought should bring us comfort upon life's weary road, There'll be no cross to carry over there. Refrain: There'll be no cross to carry over there, Not a burden, not a sorrow, not a care; Tho' here we faint and falter and bend beneath the load, There will be no cross to carry over there. 2 Perhaps a cross of sorrow has almost weighed us down, When skies are filled with clouds of dark despair, 'Tis then we hear Faith whisper, "Beyond the Cross the Crown, There'll be no cross to carry over there." [Refrain] 3 If we would reign with Jesus above yon starry dome, His cross while on our journey we must share, But O, the joy of finding when we are safe at home, There'll be no cross to carry over there. [Refrain] 4 So we will bear for Jesus His cross along life's way, Until we reach those mansions bright and fair, Then we'll sing hallelujah, because for endless days There'll be no cross to carry over there. [Refrain] Topics: Cross Tune Title: [What though our backs are bending at times]
