118.  Leave Your Burden at the Place of Prayer

When the clouds are hanging low, When the raging tempests blow, When your soul is burdened with its weight of care; There's a place of perfect rest, Where no evil can molest;

Leave your burden at the place of prayer.  Take to Jesus all your want and care; For he is a friend indeed, And supplieth every need; Leave your burden at the place of prayer.

2.

There is rest for you today,Though you walk life's busy way, There is one who waits your heavy load to bear; Jesus understands your need, Your petition he will heed;

Leave your burden at the place of prayer.  Take to Jesus all your want and care; For he is a friend indeed, And supplieth every need; Leave your burden at the place of prayer.

3.

Bring your load of doubts and fears, All the burdens of the years, You may meet your Savior and his blessings share; Bring your troubles not a few, Jesus will your strength renew; Leave your burden at the place of prayer.

Leave your burden at the place of prayer.  Take to Jesus all your want and care; For he is a friend indeed, And supplieth every need; Leave your burden at the place of prayer.

4.

We shall soon from care be free, With our eyes his glory see, O the blessedness of peace awaiting there; Till that glorious day has come, Till your race on earth is done;

Leave your burden at the place of prayer.  Take to Jesus all your want and care; For he is a friend indeed, And supplieth every need; Leave your burden at the place of prayer.
