The Gospel Awakening ‎#50

50. Bear the Cross To-day

1. Bear the cross for Jesus,
Bear the cross to-day;
In His peoples' presence
Deign thy vows to pay.

Chorus:
Bear the cross, bear the cross,
Bear the cross for Jesus;
Bear the cross, bear the cross,
Bear the cross to-day.

2. Bear the cross for Jesus,
Bear the cross to-day;
Answer when He bids thee,
Speak, or sing, or pray. [Chorus]

3. Listen to the Spirit,
Teaching all His will;
If thou heed its whisp'rings
Joy thy soul shall fill. [Chorus]
