All your sins and mine He bore;
Now in earth and heav’n adored,
Jesus lives forevermore.

For the way of the cross is the way of the crown;
For the way of the cross is the way of the crown.

His alone the sacrifice!
But if we His glory share,
That reward has still its price. [Refrain]

Let him first himself deny;
If he lose his life,” said He,
“He will find it by and by.” [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [On the cross His life outpoured]
