Lyrics by Thomas Shepherd:
Verse 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.
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.
Verse 4
O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from heaven comes down
