I have laid my bur­den down
Where the crim­son wa­ters flow,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;
I have found a spring of joy
That the world can ne­ver know,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

Refrain

Praise the Lord! praise the Lord!
Hallelujah!
Still my hap­py, hap­py song shall be;
I have found a spring of joy
That the world can ne­ver know,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

I have laid my bur­den down,
And my trou­bled heart is still,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;
I am learn­ing there by faith
My Re­deem­er’s gra­cious will,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

Refrain

I have laid my bur­den down:
Oh, the peace that fills my soul!
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;
I was dead, but now I live,
Since my Sav­ior made me whole,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

Refrain

I have laid my bur­den down,
And my Sav­ior gives me rest,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;
I can pil­low now my head
On His gen­tle, lov­ing breast,
There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

Refrain
