1 In the work of life below,
Burdened lives will lighter grow,
If we all lift a little;
Thorny ways will smoother be,
God’s deliv’ring hand we’ll see,
If we all lift a little.

Refrain:
In the work of life below,
As with Christ we onward go,
Burdened hearts will lighter grow,
If we all, yes, all lift a little.

2 Clouds will break before the light,
Soon the sky will all be bright,
If we all lift a little;
Will the weak in Christ be strong,
Sorrow’s voice give place to song,
If we all lift a little. [Refrain]

3 He shall join the souls set free,
In the shout of victory,
If we all lift a little;
Loud and long the cry will ring,
Victory thro’ Christ, the King,
If we all lift a little. [Refrain]
