Author: Thomas Shepherd; George N. Allen Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4389 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Must Jesus bear the cross alone Lyrics: 1. 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.
2. How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
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.
4. Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus’ piercèd feet,
Joyful I’ll cast my golden crown
And His dear name repeat.
5. O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from Heav’n comes down
And bears my soul away. Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND
