Author: Rev. Johnston Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #411 (1976) First Line: When I, a poor, lost sinner Refrain First Line: Yes, Jesus took my burden I could no longer bear Lyrics: 1 When I, a poor, lost sinner,Before the Lord did fall,And in the name of JesusFor pardon loud did call;He heard my supplication,And soon the weak was strong,For Jesus took my burden,And left me with a song.Refrain:Yes, Jesus took my burdenI could no longer bear,Yes, Jesus took my burdenIn answer to my prayer;My anxious fears subsided,My spirit was made strong,For Jesus took my burden,And let me with a song.2 Ofttimes the way is dreary,And rugged seems the road,Ofttimes I'm weak and weary,When bent beneath some load;But when I cry in weakness, "How long, O Lord, how long?"Then Jesus takes the burden,And leaves we with a song. [Refrain]3 When I was crushed with sorrowI bowed in deep despair,My load of grief and heartacheSeemed more than I could bear;'Twas when I heard a whisper,"You to the lord belong,"Then Jesus took my burden,And left me with a song. [Refrain]4 I'll trust Him for the further,He knoweth all the way,For with His eye He'll guide meAlong life's pilgrim way;And I will tell in heaven,While ages roll along, How Jesus took my burden,And left me with a song.
