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 every one,
And there's a cross for me.
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
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 ancient hymn questioning Christ's solitary suffering, reflecting on the Christian's identification with the cross.
