BURDEN-BEARING
It is only another burden to lay rejoicing down
When we change earth's weary crosses for Heaven's unfading crown,
Is it worth the while to murmur, to worry, fret or frown?
When we change earth's weary crosses for Heaven's unfading crown,
Is it worth the while to murmur, to worry, fret or frown?
O for a cheerful spirit when the way is void of cheer!
O for a hope to anchor amid life's deep of fear!
O for a trust that waiteth 'till all things are made clear!
O for a hope to anchor amid life's deep of fear!
O for a trust that waiteth 'till all things are made clear!
I will take up my heavy burden and carry it all to Thee,
Thou who alone canst help me to bear it rejoicingly,
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
"As our conflicts, so our conquests," is the motto of the brave
That the hand of Time's engraver doth indelibly engrave
In the solid stones of striving that the path of progress pave.
Thou who alone canst help me to bear it rejoicingly,
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
"As our conflicts, so our conquests," is the motto of the brave
That the hand of Time's engraver doth indelibly engrave
In the solid stones of striving that the path of progress pave.
