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 now the saints of God,
who once went sorrowing here;
they rest in joy, life's crown is theirs,
they know no pain nor tear.
They trod the path the Savior trod,
they bore the cross he bore;
and none may look to wear the crown
without the cross before.
Then help me, Lord, my cross to bear,
till death shall set me free,
and so at last obtain my crown,
for there's a crown for me.
