Blessed Burden

"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation" (Psalm 68:19). "My son, give Me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways" (Proverbs 23:26).

Daily loading us with grace,
God lifts from us our care.
Thus His benefits replace
The griefs that we would bear.

What a blessing He imparts
The more that we surrender!
The more we give to Him our hearts,
We find Him our Defender.

Blessed be our loving Lord,
The God of our salvation,
Who died to give us His reward,
Instead of condemnation!

Thus our eyes observe Your ways,
Rejoicing in the load
Of benefits in all our days
That You, Lord, have bestowed.
