Subject(s): Cross, The; Jesus Christ = Suffering & Sacrifice
First Line: So heavy and so fraught with pain
Last Line: The cross.
Subject(s): Cross, The; Jesus Christ = Suffering & Sacrifice
So heavy and so fraught with pain,
But I must bravely trudge along
The dusty way ... nor dare arraign
My cross.
I have no voice to lift in song;
When sorrow's recompense I feign
The muffled notes of grief remain.
And yet He prayed for strength to drain
The bitter dregs and bear the thong.
His kingly soul did not disdain
The cross.
