Jesus Took My Burden
Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman Jr. Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #2 (1934) First Line: When I, a poor, lost sinner Refrain First Line: Yes Jesus took my burden Lyrics: 1 When I, a poor, lost sinner,
Before the Lord did fall,
And in the name of Jesus
For pardon loud did call;
He heard my supplication,
And soon the weak was strong,
For Jesus took my burden,
And left me with a song.
Chorus:
Yes, Jesus took my burden
I could no longer bear,
Yes, Jesus took my burden
In answer to my prayer;
My anxious fears subsided
My spirit was made strong,
For Jesus took my burden,
And let me with a song.
2 Ofttimes the way is dreary,
And rugged seems the road,
Ofttimes i'm weak and weary,
When bent beneath some load;
But when I cry in weakness,
"How long, O Lord, how long?"
Then Jesus takes the burden,
And leaves we with a song. [Chorus]
3 When I was crushed with sorrow
I bowed in deep despair,
My load of grief and heartache
Seemed more than I could bear;
'Twas when I heard a whisper,
"You to the lord belong,"
Then Jesus took my burden,
And left me with a song. [Chorus]
4 I'll trust Him for the further,
He knoweth all the way,
For with His eye He'll guide me
Along life's pilgrim way;
And I will tell in heaven,
While ages roll along,
How Jesus took my burden,
And left me with a song. [Chorus]

Bertha Mae Lillenas
1889 - 1945 Composer of "[When I, a poor, lost sinner] (Lillenas)" in Christian Service Songs Lillenas, Bertha Mae (nee Wilson). (?--1945). First wife of Haldor Lillenas, mother of their two children. Ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene. Evangelist, singer, and composer, as well as artist at the piano. Deets Pacific Bible College, Los Angeles (later Pasadena College). With her husband, pastored churches at Lompoc and Pomona, California; Auburn, Illinois; Peniel, Texas; Redlands, Calif.; and Indianapolis, Indiana. She often preached.
She had a gift for writing songs easy to sing on powerful gospel themes. Since she was a contralto, she wrote most numbers in a low key. The text of "Jesus Took My Burden" (Johnson Oatman) was sent to Haldor Lillenas to be set to music, but the musical setting he wrote visited virtually all publishers of the day without success. After it lay in his file of unpublished music for 13 years, he took it to Bertha Mae, whose melody was immediately accepted and sung widely by Homer Rodeheaver.
