Author: T. Shepherd, 1665-1739; Bp. David Williams, 1859- Appears in 1,204 hymnals 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 How happy now the saints of God,
Who once went sorrowing here;
They rest I joy, life's crown is theirs,
They know no pain nor tear.
3 They trod the path the Saviour trod,
They bore the cross He bore;
And none may look to wear the crown
Without the cross before.
4 Then help me, Lord, my cross to bear,
Till death shall set me free,
And so at last obtain my crown,
For there's a crown for me.
Amen. Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; Suffering For Christ's ; Suffering For Christ's Used With Tune: CROSS AND CROWN
