9. Bear the Cross for Jesus

1 Bear the cross for Jesus,
Bear it every day;
Tho' the path be rugged,
Bear it all the way;
Bear the cross for Jesus,
Whatsoe'er it be;
Bear it, and remember
All his love for thee.

Refrain:
Bear the cross, bear the cross,
Bear it ev'ry day;
Bear the cross for Jesus,
Bear it all the way.

2 Bear the cross for Jesus,
Bear it thro' the strife,
Or in pain and silence
Whatsoe'er thy life?
Bear the cross with patience
Tho' you sigh for rest;
Just the one he gives you
Is for you the best. [Refrain]

3 Bear the cross for Jesus;
Would you know the pow'r
Of his grace to save you
Save you hour by hour;
Bear the cross for Jesus,
Never mind its weight;
We shall leave our burden
At the golden gate. [Refrain]
