Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone | Songs and Everlasting Joy

This very small hymn has always been a favourite of mine for its simplicity and power of message. Jesus bore the cross for us and we know that. But beyond that, there's a cross we must bear. It goes both ways. When we've borne that cross, there's a crown awaiting us! And we will want to cast that crown at His feet, the One who made it all possible for us.
Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone
Verse 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.
Verse 2
The consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till He shall set me free.
And then go home, my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
Verse 3
Upon the crystal pavement down,
At Jesus' pierced feet.
With joy I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat!

Lord I adore you as my saviour,without your sacrifice I was lost.Help me to carry my cross.

It's heartbreaking to think I've forgotten my part in it so many times. If we are willing to bear the cross, we'll wear a crown! What a wonderful promise! God bless you :)

Much the same here: I love singing, especially them old hymns, and God's nature is My Cathedral! That is actually a reference to a very nice Jim Reeves song, though maybe considered contemporary, then still sound.

この讃美は日本でも歌われています。主イエスに十字架を負わせるわが身はそのお身体に触れることすらしないと歌います。すばらしい讃美を感謝します。

My mother just passed away 10 17 2023 and she hummed and sang this song a lot.

[@SongsandEverlastingJoy]

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful song for your mum to sing. What a wonderful hope we have of seeing her again! God be with you.

[@missarcene4345]

@SongsandEverlastingJoy God bless you and thank you for taking your time to respond. I want to see her again in heaven.

[@bessie9755]

​@@SongsandEverlastingJoythe only way she's going to see her mother again is if she if she had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and if the daughter has a personal relationship with Jesus
