Lyrics
I walked one day along a country road,
And there a Stranger journeyed too,
Bent low beneath the burden of His load:
It was a cross, a cross I knew.
"O let me bear Thy cross, dear Lord," I cried,
And, lo, a cross for me appeared,
The one forgotten I had cast aside,
The one, so long, that I had feared,
My cross I'll carry till the crown appears,
The way I journey soon will end,
Where God Himself shall wipe away all tears,
And friend hold fellowship with friend.
[Chorus]
"Take up thy cross and follow Me,"
I hear the blessed Saviour call;
How can I make a lesser sacrifice,
When Jesus gave His all?
