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.

“Take Up Thy Cross And Follow Me,”
I Hear The Blessed Savior Call;
How Can I Make A Lesser Sacrifice,
When Jesus Gave His All?

I Cried, “Lord Jesus,” And He Spoke My Name;
I Saw His Hands All Bruised And Torn;
I Stooped To Kiss Away The Marks Of Shame,
The Shame For Me That He Had Borne.

“Oh, 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.
