Must Jesus bear the cross alone

by Thomas Shepherd and others (1665–1739)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 328.

Verse 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.

Verse 2

The consecrated cross I’ll bear Till He shall set me free; And then go home my crown to wear, For there’s a crown for me.

Verse 3

Upon the crystal pavement, down At Jesus’ pierced feet, With joy I’ll cast my golden crown, And His dear name repeat.
