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
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
O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from heav'n comes down
And bears my soul away

Alternate verses
How happy are the saints above
Who once went sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love
And joy without a tear
Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus' pierced feet
Joyful I'll cast my golden crown
And His dear Name repeat
