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:
And there's a cross for ev'ry one,
And there's a cross for you and me,
Tho' all the world go free;
Yes, there's a cross for ev'ry one,
And there's a cross for me.

O precious cross, O glorious crown,
O resurrection day;
With joy I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.

(Chorus)
