Burden-Bearers

Listen in the reader

Burden-bearers are we all, Great and small. Burden-sharers be ye all, Great and small! Where another shares the load, Two draw nearer God. Yet there are burdens we can share with none, Save God; And paths remote where we must walk alone, With God; For lonely burden and for path apart-- Thank God! If these but serve to bring the burdened heart To God.
