The original lyrics for this hymn tune MAITLAND were written by Thomas Shepherd and unknown others and are printed below. Using this same hymn tune, Thomas A. Dorsey penned new lyrics in 1932 and his song titled "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" became one of the most beloved and familiar hymns of the 20th century.

Lyrics by Thomas Shepherd:
Verse 1
Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.

Verse 2
The consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till He shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.

Verse 3
Upon the crystal pavement,
Down at Jesus' pierced feet,
With joy I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.

Verse 4
O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from heaven comes down
And bears me far away.
