Author: Thomas Shepherd, 1665-1739 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #349 (1957) 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 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.
3 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' piercèd feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.
4 O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down,
And bear my soul away.
