Show J SONG OF THE BURDEN BEARER Over the narrow footpath That led from my lowly door I went with a thought of the Master As oft I had walked before My heart wa heavily laden And with tears my eye were dim But I knew I should lose the burden Could I get a glimpse of Him Over the trodden pathway To the helds all shorn and bare I went with a step that faltered And a face tat told of care I had lost the light of the morning With its shimmer of sun and dew shimIer = al < But a gracious look of the Master Would the strength of morn renew While yet the courage wavered And the sky before me blurred I heard a voice behind me Saying a tender word And I turned t see the brightness Of heaven upon the rod And suddenly lost the pressure Of the wear crushing load Noithing that hour was altered I ha still the weight of care But I bore i now with giadness Which comeS of answered prayer Not a grief the soul can fetter Nor cloud his vion when The dear Iord gives the spirit To breathe to His will Amen 1 E SANGSTER |
