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.
