Though 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.
Bear the cross, bear the cross, bear it every day ;
Bear the cross for Jesus, bear it all the way.
2 Bear the cross for Jesus, bear it
through the strife ;
On through storm or sunshine, up the hill of life ;
Bear the cross with patience, though
you sigh for rest;
Just the one He giveth is for you the best
3 Bear the cross for Jesus ; would you
know the power
Of His grace to keep you, keep you every hour ?
Bear the cross for Jesus, never mind
its weight ;
We shall leave our burden at His palace gate.
