Author: Thomas Shepherd, 1665-1739 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #155 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 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 The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a cross 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: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Consecration; Cross; Jesus Passion Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND
