Hymns of the Kingdom of God ‎#66

66. There's not a grief, however light

1 There’s not a grief, however light,
Too light for sympathy;
There’s not a care, however slight,
Too slight to bring to Thee.

2 Thou who hast trod the thorny road
Wilt share each small distress;
For He who bore the greater load
Will not refuse the less.

3 There’s not a secret sigh we breathe
But meets Thin ear divine,
And every cross grows light beneath
The shadow, Lord, of Thine.

4 Life’s woes without, sin’s strife within,
The heart would overflow,
But for that love which died for sin,
That love which wept with woe.
