274
Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?
Verse 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.
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone,
And there's a cross for me.
Verse 2
The consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till he shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
Till he shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
Verse 3
Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet,
With joy I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.
At Jesus' pierced feet,
With joy I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.
An early hymn questioning Christ's exclusive bearing of the cross and calling believers to share in suffering.
