GIVING, by ANONYMOUS

First Line: God gives us joy that we may give
Last Line: And heavy loads rest lightly too / when we have learned to bear
Subject(s): Gifts & Giving;god
God gives us joy that we may give;
He gives us joy that we may share;
Sometimes He gives us loads to lift
That we may learn to bear.
For life is gladder when we give,
And love is sweeter when we share,
And heavy loads rest lightly too
When we have learned to bear.
