Author: Rev. Ozora Stearns Davis Hymnal: The Hymnal #179 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We bear the strain of earthly care,
But bear it not alone;
Beside us walks our Brother Christ
And makes our task His own.
2 Through din of market, whirl of wheels,
And thrust of driving trade,
We follow where the Master leads,
Serene and unafraid.
3 The common hopes that make us men
Were His in Galilee;
The tasks He gives are those He gave
Beside the restless sea.
4 Our brotherhood still rests in Him,
The Brother of us all,
And o'er the centuries still we hear
The Master's winsome call.
