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 for me.

2

How happy are the saints aboveWho once went mourning here;But now they taste unmingled loveAnd joy without a tear.

3

We'll bear the consecrated crossTill from the cross we're free,And then go home our crowns to wear,For there's a crown for me.
