Peter D. Burchard — Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone lyrics

Lyrics

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.
How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
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.
Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus??? pierc?? d feet,
Joyful I??? ll cast my golden crown
And His dear Name repeat.
O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from Heav??? n comes down
And bears my soul away.
