Author: Thomas Shepherd Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #449 (1986) 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 ev'ryone,
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' pierced 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. Topics: Commitment and Consecration; Discipleship; Life Everlasting; Stewardship and Service Tune Title: MAITLAND
