Author: William Leslie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12915 First Line: Under the burdens of guilt and care Refrain First Line: Life! life! eternal life! Lyrics: 1 Under the burdens of guilt and care,
Many a spirit is grieving,
Who in the joy of the Lord might share,
Life everlasting receiving.
Refrain:
Life! life! eternal life!
Jesus alone is the giver!
Life! life! abundant life!
Glory to Jesus for ever!
2 Burdened one, why will you longer bear
Sorrows from which He releases?
Open your heart, and rejoicing share,
Life "more abundant" in Jesus. [Refrain]
3 Leaving the mountain, the streamlet grows,
Flooding the vale with a river;
So, from the hill of the Cross, there flows
Life "more abundant" for ever. [Refrain]
4 Oh for the floods on the thirsty land!
Oh for a mighty revival!
Oh for a sanctified, fearless band,
Ready to hail its arrival. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Under the burdens of guilt and care]
Abundant Life
