I Shall Not Bear The Cross Thro’ Yon City
When The Burdens Of Life Are Laid Down.
When I Knock On The Portals Of Heaven
I Will Trade The Old Cross For A Crown.
Yes, I’ll Trade The Old Cross For A Crown,
When The Burdens Of Life Are Laid Down.
When The Pearl Gates For Me Shall Swing Open,
I Will Trade The Old Cross For A Crown.
Tho’ The Cross Oftentimes Has Been Heavy,
And Oft Fortune On Me Seems To Frown,
But How Happy I’ll Be Over Yonder
When I Trade The Old Cross For A Crown.
Oft, My Bark Has Been Tossed On Life’s Billows,
And Each Wave Tries My Vessel To Drown.
But No Storm Cloud Can Harm Me Forever
When I Trade The Old Cross For A Crown.
Every Cross That I Bear For My Savior
Will At Last, When He Calls, Be Laid Down,
And My Sorrows Will All Be Forgotten
When I Trade The Old Cross For A Crown.
I Will Trade The Old Cross title,I Will Trade The Old Cross title,I Will Trade The Old Cross title,I Will Trade The Old Cross lyrics.
