Lyrics

Bring your bur­den to the low­ly Je­sus,
Whatsoe’er that bur­den be,
Though you long have jour­neyed hea­vy-heart­ed,
He will speak your spir­it free.

Refrain

Come be­liev­ing, He will sure­ly help you,
Grace abun­dant He’ll be­stow,
Come and trust His ne­ver fail­ing pro­mise,
All His sav­ing full­ness know.

Bring your sor­row to the lov­ing Je­sus,
When on earth He sor­rowed, too,
He will heal your ach­ing, wound­ed spir­it,
All His mer­cy waits for you.

Refrain

Bring your heart, all wea­ry, hea­vy la­den,
Jesus says, I’ll give you rest;
Learn of me, for I am meek and low­ly;
Lean your head up­on My breast.
