Thomas Shepherd wrote this poem about Simon of Cyrene who, according to Matthew 27:32, was compelled to carry Jesus' cross on the way to Golgotha.
Here's the lyrics of the original hymn:
Shall Simon bear thy cross alone,
And other saints be free?
Each saint of thine shall find his own
And there is one for me.
When e're it falls unto my lot,
Let it not drive me from
My God, let me be ne're forgot
‘Till thou hast lov'd me home.
