Author: Thomas Shepherd Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #173 (1904) First Line: Must Jesus bear the cross alone Refrain First Line: I will bear the cross for Jesus Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for ev'ry one,
And there's a cross for me.
Chorus:
I will bear the cross for Jesus,
I will bear the cross for Jesus,
I will bear the cross for Jesus,
He bore the cross for me.
2 How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
And love without a tear. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Must Jesus bear the cross alone]
I Will Bear the Cross
