T. Shepherd
MUST Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No; there’s a cross for every one,
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.
