Cross Bearing

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
Bear well thy cross; ’tis but a little while Till Jesus comes to take his children home. Morning shall dawn, and all thy woes beguile, While joy shall banish every sorrow known.
Bear well thy cross; we are but waiting here The call of welcome from beyond the skies. What though the way is rough or path is drear, While just beyond are gleams of Paradise?
Bear well thy cross, nor lay the burden down Till Christ shall come to give the weary rest; When prayer shall turn to praise and cross to crown, And rest be long and sweet on Jesus’ breast.
Bear well thy cross, nor let the world dismay; Jesus knows all thy sorrows and thy care, Strength shall be given for each weary day, And thorns shall turn to blossoms sweet and rare.
Bear well thy cross; thy labors soon shall cease, And weary feet shall tread earth’s paths no more, But in the kingdom of eternal peace Find rest at last on heaven’s shining shore.
Riverside, Cal.
