The Crown --------- O precious cross! Must Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free? No, there's a cross for ev'ry one, And there's a cross for me, a cross, a cross for me. O precious cross, O glorious crown! O resurrection day! O angels, from the stars come down, And bear my soul away, and bear my soul away, away. O precious cross! glorious crown! Words: Thomas Shepherd, 1692; alt. Music: Norwegian folk tune, arr Leland B. Sateren (13 Oct 1913 -)
