Reject The Burden
Reject the burden of all earthly solace
Put 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.
