Light and Life ‎#98

98. Bear ye one another's burdens

1 Bear ye one another's burdens,
As ye pass thro' life along;
All have burdens they must carry,
Whether they be weak or strong.
I have borne your burdens for you,
I your debt of sin did pay;
And the strong should help the feeble,
That they faint not by the way.

Chorus:
Bear ye one another's burden's!
Bear ye one another's burdens!
Bear ye one another's burdens!
Bear them freely; bear them now!

2 Bear ye one another's burdens,
Whatsoever they may be;
Giving aid to one another,
Is the same as unto me.
Even tho' your load be heavy,
Ye can all some help afford;
Ev'ry one can do a little,
With a pleasant look or word. [Chorus]

3 Bear ye one another's burdens,
As ye journey here below,
Strive to lessen these of others,
And your own shall lighter grow,
When ye gather over yonder,
In the regions of the blest,
Ye shall bear no tiresome burdens,
Ye shall enter into rest. [Chorus]
