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
How happy are the saints above
Who once went sorrowing here
But now they taste unmingled love
And joy without a tear
3
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

4
Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus’ piercèd feet
Joyful I’ll cast my golden crown
And His dear name repeat
5
O precious cross O glorious crown
O resurrection day
When Christ the Lord from Heav’n comes down
And bears my soul away
