Fountainview Academy performs the classic hymn 'Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone,' a song that reflects on the personal cost of discipleship and the hope of eternal reward. The lyrics acknowledge that every believer has a cross to carry, but also look forward to the crown of life that awaits. The hymn expresses a willingness to bear hardship for Christ, culminating in a joyful anticipation of laying one's crown at Jesus' feet on resurrection day. It draws on themes of sacrifice, perseverance, and the promise of heaven, encouraging believers to remain faithful through trials.
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.
The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown
And his dear name repeat.
O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down
And bear my soul away.
