BURDEN-BEARERS, by                    
First Line: Burden-bearers are we all
Last Line: To god.
Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


Burden-bearers are we all,
Great and small.
Burden-sharers be ye all,
Great and small!
Where another shares the load,
To draw nearer God.
Yet there are burdens we can share with none,
Save God;
And paths remote where we must walk alone,
With God;
For lonely burden and for path apart --
Thank God!
If these but serve to bring the burdened heart
To God.
