With love's best ambition;
Jesus bore it all alone
For the world's remission.

Bear the cross, bear the cross;
He bore all for thee
With a Savior's loving heart:
'Twas on Calvary.
2 "It is finished," hear Him say,
Precious promise given!
Will you at the cross today
Fix your hearts for Heaven? [Refrain]
3 Bear the cross, then until death
Shall relieve the burden,
And you'll find sweet rest and peace
Just beyond the Jordan. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Jesus Passion Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Languages: English Tune Title: BEAR THE CROSS
