Author: George Matheson Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 4 #1 (1921) Hymnal Title: Alexander's Hymns No. 4 First Line: Take my burdened heart Lyrics: 1 Take my burdened heart,
Take it and give me Thine!
For where Thy wounds their pain impart,
There is no room for mine.
2 Take my burdened soul,
Give me in turn Thine own,
For where Thy waves of sorrow roll,
My sorrow is unknown.
3 Take my burdened life,
Weigh me with Thine instead,
For in Thy care for human strife,
My human care is dead.
4 Take my burdened will,
Give me Thy will resigned,
For when Thou bidst my storm be still,
I perfect freedom find. Topics: Christ Friend and Helper; Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: [Take my burdened heart]
