The Old Story in Song ‎#45

45. Roll It Off

1 Roll it off on Jesus,
All thy load of sin;
He will lift it from thee,
Breathing peace within;
Ev’ry haunting mem’ry,
Ev’ry gloomy fear,
Bring to him, thy Saviour,
He is ever near.

Refrain:
Roll it off, roll it off,
Too great for thee to bear;
Roll it off, roll it off,
All thy load of care;
Roll it off on Jesus,
Lean upon his breast,
He is calling,
“Come and rest.”

2 Roll it off on Jesus,
Ev’ry pressing grief;
He will sweetly comfort,
He will give relief;
Precious consolation
Cometh from above,
There is grace to help us
In his wondrous love. [Refrain]

3 Roll it off on Jesus,
Ev’ry heart-request;
Bring him thy petitions,
For he knoweth best;
He who marks thy pathway,
He who bears thy care
Hath the pow’r and wisdom,
He will answer pray’r. [Refrain]
