Author: Chas. H. Gabriel Hymnal: Calvary's Praises #178 (1917) First Line: Are you heavy hearted, and oppressed with grief and care Refrain First Line: Be a christian brave and true Lyrics: 1 Are you heavy hearted, and oppressed with grief and care,
Weary of the duty-burden you in silence bear?
Faithful be, and patient—never yielding to despair,
Bear it, bravely bear it, just for Jesus’ sake.
Refrain:
Be a christian brave and true;
Bear the cross He gives to you:
Heavy tho’ it prove, yet in faith and love,
Bravely bear it just for Jesus’ sake.
2 Do you long for pleasures that allure on ev’ry side?
Think of Him—the Man of Sorrows—by His own denied!
Count it joy to suffer in His name, however tried,
Bear it, bravely bear it, just for Jesus’ sake. [Refrain]
3 When temptation whispers “’Tis for other hands to do!”
Think what He endured in dark Gethsemane for you;
Take the cross He gives you! to the blessed One be true,
Bear it, bravely bear it, just for Jesus’ sake. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Are you heavy hearted, and oppressed with grief and care]
