Rest Thee by the Way

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: The Ark of Praise #10 (1882) First Line: Take up, take up thy burden Refrain First Line: Lean thou on him for comfort Lyrics: 1 Take up, take up thy burden, Why weary should’st thou be? Far greater were the trials Thy Saviour bore for thee. Refrain: Lean thou on him for comfort, Whose gentle voice will say, “There’s rest beside the fountain;” Go, rest thee by the way. 2 Take up, take up thy burden Of duty, toil and care, And if its weight oppress thee, Then find relief in prayer. [Refrain] 3 Take up, take up thy burden Of sorrow if ‘tis thine; Thro’ clouds that seem the darkest The brightest beams will shine. [Refrain] 4 Yes, bear thy burden meekly Till God shall lay it down, And thou for faithful service From him receive thy crown. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Take up, take up thy burden]
