Bear the cross for Jesus, Bear it every day; Tho’ the path be rugged, Bear it all the way; Bear the cross for Jesus, Whatsoe’er it be; Bear it, and remember All His love for thee.

Chorus

Bear the cross, bear the cross, Bear it ev’ry day; Bear the cross for Jesus, Bear it all the way.

Bear the cross, bear the cross, Bear it ev’ry day; Bear the cross for Jesus, Bear it all the way.

Bear the cross, bear the cross, Bear it ev’ry day; Bear the cross for Jesus, Bear it all the way.
