1 “Bear ye one another’s burdens,”
’Tis the blessed Master’s will;
Only thus can we be like him,
And the royal law fulfill.

Refrain:
With grace from above
Let us walk, let us walk in love;
Let us bear one another’s burdens,
Let us walk, let us walk in love.

2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens,”
For the road is rough at times,
And a kindly hand will strengthen
Him who stumbles as he climbs. [Refrain]

3 “Bear ye one another’s burdens,”
All our own will Jesus share;
Free the heart to feel for others,
Resting sweetly in his care. [Refrain]

4 “Bear ye one another’s burdens,”
Heart to heart and hand to hand;
’Tis the common faith unites us,
Pilgrims to one better land. [Refrain]
