Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?

Author: Thomas Shepherd; George N. Allen Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4389 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Must Jesus bear the cross alone 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. 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. Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND

Thomas Shepherd

1665 - 1739 Author (and others) of "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone" in The United Methodist Hymnal Shepherd, Thomas, son of William Shepherd, sometime Vicar of Tilbrook, Bedfordshire, and subsequently a Nonconformist Minister at Oundle, and at Kettering, was born in 1665. Taking Holy Orders he held for some time preferment in Huntingdonshire, and in Buckinghamshire. Seceding from the Church of England, he became, in 1694, pastor of the Castle Hill Meeting House (Independent), Nottingham, of which Dr. Doddridge was subsequently pastor. In 1700 he removed to Bocking, near Braintree, Essex, where he began his work in a barn. A chapel was erected for his congregation in 1707. He died Jan. 29, 1739. His publications consisted chiefly of Sermons, His Penitential Cries were a continuance of those by John Mason, who wrote the first six and the version of Ps. 86, and were published with Mason's Songs of Praise in 1693. It must be noted that in D. Sedgwick's reprint of the Songs, and the Penitential Cries, in 1859, Mason's Cries are under the head of Songs, &c, pp. 49-61, and those under Penitential Cries, are all by Shepherd. Some of these Cries are still in common use including, "My God, my God, my Light, my Love " (Longing for God) ; and "When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord" (Communion with God desired). -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
