Author: Thomas Shepherd Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) #229 (1928) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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.
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' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear Name repeat.
5 O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down,
And bear my soul away. Topics: Following Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [Must Jesus bear the cross alone]
