Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone
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. 2. How happy are the saints above, who once went sorrowing here! But now they taste unmingled love, and joy without a tear. 3. 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.
