WHY CARRY THINE OWN BURDEN?

By Marianne Farningham

WHY carry thine own burden Day by day? Why through the thickest shadows Take thy way? A Saviour is beside thee, A loving Friend would guide thee; Therefore, pray.
Why art thou made so hopeless By thy sin? The Lamb of God has borne it, Let Him win Thy faith in His salvation, Thy trust in His oblation, Peace within.
Why are the days so shadowed By thy care? Why do thy fears pursue thee Everywhere? The dread of each to-morrow, The pressure of all sorrow, Let Christ bear.
Why art thou so forgetful Of His might? Hast thou not learnt love's lesson Of delight? Thy sin and care and sadness Will vanish in the gladness Of His light. —Marianne Farningham.
