#60The Cross and Crown
Hymn Display
1
MUST Simon bear his cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No ! There's a cross for ev'ry one,
And there's a cross me.
Yes, there's a cross on Calvary,
Thro' which by faith the crown I see;
To me 'tis pardon bringing.
O, that's the cross for me.
2
How faithful does the Saviour prove
To those who serve him here!
They may now taste his perfect love.
And joy to hail him near.
Yes, perfect love will dry the tear,
And cast out all tormenting fear,
Which round my heart is clinging.
O, that's the love for me, &c.
3
We'll bear the consecrated cross,
Till from the cross we're free,
And then go home to wear the crown,
For there's a crown for me.
Yes, there's a crown in heaven above,
The purchase of my Saviour's love,
For me at his appearing.
O, that's the crown for me, &c.
4
There is a home for us above;
The Lord will soon appear;
His saints they will in glory rise
To meet him in the air.
Yes, there's a home in heaven prepared,
A house no wicked man has shared,
Where Christ is interceding.
O, that's the home for me, &c.
