135. 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 everyone,
And there’s a cross for me.

Refrain:
I will bear the cross for Jesus,
I will bear the cross for Jesus,
I will bear the cross for Jesus,
He bore the 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
