Is there a heart o'er-bound by sorrow?
Is there a life weighed down by care?
Come to the cross - each burden bearing,
all your anxiety - leave it there.
Refrain:
All your anxiety, all your care,
Bring to the mercy seat - leave it there;
Never a burden He cannot bear,
Never a friend like Jesus!
Verse 2
No other friend so keen to help you,
no other friend so quick to hear;
no other place to leave your burden,
no other one to hear your prayer.
Verse 3
Come then at once - delay no longer!
Heed His entreaty kind and sweet;
you need not fear a disappointment -
You shall find peace at the mercy seat.
