Reject the BurdenReject the burden of all earthly solacePut from your heart the claims of home and wife Does your child hunger? Give unto a stranger The bread that once would feed that little life Humble yourself to be the meanest servant Of your worst enemy and learn to call The brute beast of the forest-ways your brother And ask of God nothing, nothing at all Reject the burden of all earthly solace And ask of God nothing, nothing at all |
