138. Carry it All to the Cross

1 When your heart cries for salvation,
From the weight of sinful dross;
You will find it in its fullness
At the foot of Calv’ry’s cross.

Refrain:
Carry it all to the cross,
Carry it all, carry it all to the cross;
In your sorrow and your woe,
To the loving Saviour go,
Carry it all, carry it all to the cross.

2 Here the wrongs of life are righted,
Here earth’s bitter things grow sweet;
While we kneel with hearts submissive
At the Savior’s pierced feet. [Refrain]

3 Sore afflictions loose their keenness,
Trials lighter seem to be,
Sorrows vanish when we view them
In the light of Calvary. [Refrain]

4 Great indeed may be your burden,
Greater still the remedy;
Bring it all, his grace and mercy
Ever will sufficient be. [Refrain]
