Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Burdened with a heavy load, Lord, we come, for Thou art calling Lyrics: I Burdened with a heavy load, Lord, we come, for Thou art calling; Rough and toilsome is the road, And the night around is falling. II Sin, the burden that we bear, Fills us with a dread to meet Thee; Yet, we yield not to despair, But for mercy would entreat Thee. III From the cross a glorious light Falls upon our path to cheer us; And a hope on pinions bright Hovers, in the darkness, near us. IV For the sake of Him Who bore All the sin, we come lamenting, Let Thy pardon now restore Sinners, at Thy feet, repenting. Hymns from the Morningland, 1911

Let the people shout for gladness Lyrics: Hail the Resurrection day, Let the people shout for gladness; 'Tis a Passover of joy, Therefore banish every sadness; For, from death to endless life, Christ our Lord His people bringeth; As from earth to heaven we rise, Each his song of triumph singeth. From our eyes the veil remove, That we may, in light transcending, See the Risen Lord of Life, Life to all in grace extending; Let our ears His voice perceive-- To its accents kind attending We would hear "All hail" and sing, Every voice in gladness blending. Let the heavens above rejoice, Earth unite with heaven in praising; All the world, and all therein, Join in triumph, heavenward raising All things visible unite With invisible in singing, For the Christ is risen indeed, Everlasting gladness bringing.

Shattered now the bars of death, Hades' gates are burst asunder, For the Word of life arose While creation gazed in wonder. To Thy Name eternal praise Every heart and voice engages; All Thy works exalt Thy Name, Through the endless course of ages. Text Sources: Parakletike, p. 9
