349 A Cross for Me

Tune: O. A. Parris, 1935

Words: Thomas Shepherd, 1693

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for ev’ryone,
And there’s a cross for me.

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.
