Text:Carry Thy Burden to Jesus
Author:Ethel Verne King
Tune:[Carry thy burden to Jesus]
Composer:Robert Hood Bowers

10. Carry Thy Burden to Jesus

1 Carry thy burden to Jesus,
Thou who art weary of care;
Tell Him thy sorrow and longing,
Ask Him thy troubles to share.

Refrain:
Carry thy burden to Jesus, to Jesus, to Jesus,
Carry thy burden to Jesus,
Ask Him thy trials to share.

2 Tell Him of life’s disappointments,
Tell Him thy weakness and sin;
Ask Him for peace in the conflict,
Ask Him for cleansing within. [Refrain]

3 Jesus is waiting to save you;
Grace that is boundless and free,
Purchased at Calvary’s fountain,
Gladly He offers to thee. [Refrain]

4 There shall the righteous Redeemer
Fill thee with power anew;
Hands that were wounded shall bless thee,
Making thee steadfast and true. [Refrain]
