Mystery solved

Several months ago I asked whether there really might be a hymn titled, Gladly the Cross I'd Bear, which generations of children had mistaken for Gladly the Cross-Eyed Bear. Well, there isn't. But a certain Angharad has cleared up the mystery. It seems that in 1894 the great Fanny Crosby wrote a hymn, Keep Thou My Way, whose third stanza contains the line, "Gladly the cross I'll bear." Now I can sleep at night again.
