Author: Thomas Shepherd, 1665-1739 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #615 (2012) 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 ev'ry 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 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown
And his dear name repeat.
4 O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down
And bear my soul away. Topics: Easter Vigil ; Easter Season Resurrection; Exaltation of the Holy Cross September 14th; Funeral Sacraments; Angels; Cross; Discipleship; Eternal Life; Heaven; Holy Name of Jesus; Homecoming; Joy; Sacrifice Scripture: Luke 9:23 Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND
