Laudes Domini ‎#903

903. Christ's Burden

1 It is no untried way
That takes us home to God;
The road that leads to realms of day
By Christ himself was trod.

2 The Lord of Love has borne
The burdens of this life,
The Man of Sorrows oft was worn,
With earth's incessant strike.

3 See from his throne of light
He now in grace looks down,
He holds within faith's piercing sight,
And bids us win--the crown.

4 Our hearts can never faint
With such a goal in view;
But doubts dismissed, hushed each complaint,
We will the way pursue.
