Author: E. S. H. Hymnal: The Gospel Chorus #32 (1902) First Line: If you bear the cross for Jesus, it will make your burdens light Refrain First Line: If you bear the cross for Jesus, you will find your cares grow light Lyrics: 1 If you bear the cross for Jesus, it will make your burdens light,
And your pathway beam with sunshine as the noonday clear and bright;
If you follow where He leads you, trusting Him by night and day,
You will find your cares grow lighter as you walk the narrow way.
Refrain:
If you bear the cross for Jesus, you will find your cares grow light,
And your soul secure and happy, as you’re living for the right.
2 If you bear the cross for Jesus, in the early days of youth,
And you make His word your counsel, walking in its precious truth;
It will keep your feet from straying and your lips from speaking guile,
And the way the leads to heaven will grow brighter all the while. [Refrain]
3 If you bear the cross for Jesus, it will lessen all your care,
For the meek and lowly Saviour says, your sorrows He will share;
Helping you to bear life’s burdens, making easy how to live,
Oh, such friendship this betokens, cannot help but comfort give. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [If you bear the cross for Jesus, it will make your burdens light]
