Main message: Reflecting on the meaning of the cross Jesus bore for us.

Bible references:

• V1. "a cross for ev'ry one" (Mark 8:34)

"golden crown" (Revelations 4:4)

Interpretation notes:

• This hymn uses the same melody as 'According to Thy Gracious Word,' a Communion hymn that focuses on remembering Christ's sacrifice. 

• The tempo is slower, and the meter is 6/4 with a recurring half-note-plus-quarter-note rhythmic pattern, supporting the reflective text about the Cross.
