When we find life with burdens,      
Lord, life's load is hard to bear:      
During times such as these, Lord
Be sure to show us you care.        

When crosses weigh upon us,  
And we find life hard to live:
Then we need to be grateful,
When wisdom to us you give.          

When we find life a burden,            
Lighter help our lives to be:            
Joys to be found in our lives,              
Dearest Lord help us to see.                                        

When burdensome life we find,
Of life's joys, Lord, us remind.
