The Old Story in Song ‎#33

33. O, Steal Away Softly to Jesus

1 Go, carry thy burden to Jesus,
And lay down thy load at His feet,
Where Calvary’s cross is uplifted,
Find pardon and comforting sweet.

Refrain:
O, steal away softly to Jesus,
To Him let thy heart be outpoured;
Thy Father, who seeth in secret,
Shall give thee a gracious reward.

2 Rejoice in His wonderful mercy,
Thy soul from its sorrow relieved,
Then, turning in love to thy neighbor,
Give freely, as thou hast received. [Refrain]

3 Let Christ be thy gracious Companion,
Keep close to His side, day by day;
The Fountain, unseen, of the blessings
That brighten and gladden the way. [Refrain]

4 O, fellowship precious and holy,
His life, overflowing in love,
Shall bring to the needy around thee
Fair sunbeams and bloom from above. [Refrain]
