Author: Thomas Shepherd Hymnal: The Hymnbook #290 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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.
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 O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down,
And bear my soul away.
Amen. Topics: Cross, The; Discipleship; Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Scripture: Luke 9:23 Tune Title: MAITLAND
