Oh, trouble´ll soon be over, sorrow will have an end
Oh, trouble´ll soon be over, sorrow will have an end

Well, Christ is my burden bearer, He´s my only friend
Till the end of my sorrow and tells me to lean on Him

God is my strong protection, He´s my bosom friend
Trouble arose all around me, I know who will take me in

He proved a friend to David, and hid him in a cage
The same God that David served, will give me a rest someday

Well, though my burden may be heavy, my enemies crush me down
Someday I´ll rest with Jesus and wear a starry crown

I´ll take this yoke upon me and live a Christian life
Take Jesus for my Savior, my burden will be light
