Can I trust you, my child

1 Can I trust you my child comes the voice of the Lord,
Then carry the load, I'll give the reward;
So I'll carry the load laid on by His hand,
For Jesus has said I'll help you to stand.

Refrain:
I'll carry the load till comes the glad dawn,
For Jesus my Lord I'll gladly toil on;
What matter the tears that fall as the rain,
For Jesus has said I'll help you to stand.

2 Why dread the long hill be it ever so steep,
For Jesus has said your soul He would keep;
Don't dread the dark night for time rushes on
And Jesus has said I'll send the bright dawn. [Refrain]

3 I'll carry the load, my Savior knows best,
Till on that glad day I enter His rest;
There'll come a glad time when my load I'll lay down
And from my dear Lord receive a bright crown. [Refrain]
